On This Day
Villa without an away goal in three games this season secure their second successive 0-0 draw on the road, this time against Blackburn who win their first point in five games.
Having been dropped from the Sunderland game due to his errant individualism, Dicky Dorsett is recalled by Alex Massie after Billy Goffin falls ill on the journey north.
