ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 20 April 1968
Villa make it three games unbeaten and climb to joint 11th in the table alongside opposition side Bolton and next opponents Huddersfield but the game is overshadowed by disquiet amongst the fan base at another sub-standard showing under Tommy Cummings described by the local media as "pathetic".
Tommy Cummings' Villa make it two games unbeaten and fifteen wins, six draws and eighteen defeats in thirty nine League games this season.
