MATCH TIMELINE
ON THIS DAY
Joe Mercer's Villa follow their first win in thirteen to end a record setting run of eleven successive League defeats with a twelfth division one defeat in thirteen.
Villa’s latest fixture is their thirteenth in forty four days after their wildly interrupted season delivered the inevitable fixture list congestion in the final two months of the season.
As a result, Villa make it thirteen wins, seven draws and nineteen defeats in thirty nine division one games so far this season as a campaign of such promise before the fixture interruption had come completely off the rails following a record for failure that no-one could or would have predicted.
