On This Day
A poor performance enlightened by a rare goalscoring attack just after half time is decried as a โdismal displayโ with only โEdwards, Ferguson and the full backsโ deserving credit. Villa remain 19th.
Tommy Cummings' Villa now have just a single win in the last thirteen games as they make it a win, three draws and four defeats in eight division two games so far this season. Meanwhile, Barrie Hole made his Villa debut, aged 26, after moving from Blackburn Rovers for a club record fee of ยฃ65,000 earlier this month.
