  • Changes galore after Villa's shock defeat to Aldershot. 

  • Most consequential is the return of Phil Woosnam to the team having been absent since October due to 'pragmatic' footballing reasons. Woosnam proceeds to run the game and deliver a desperately needed win for Joe Mercer.

  • Joe Mercer's Villa return to League action to win for only the second time in ten to make it nine wins, five draws and twelve defeats in twenty six League games.
