On This Day
Tommy Docherty's Villa make it six wins in seven League games under his stewardship and nine wins, eight draws and thirteen defeats in thirty division two games so far this season.
Meanwhile, 20 year old forward Dave Simmons made his Villa debut after moving from Arsenal for a fee of ยฃ15,000 earlier this month.
What they Said
"The fact that I took Peter Broadbent off and substituted Simmons was in no way a reflection on his performance in that match or an any of the matches he has played for me.
"Broadbent had been ill for most of Friday night and it was only because of this that chose him to come off.
โI did not want to tax his strength in any way for he has been a key man.โ
Tommy Docherty after being criticised for his substitution.
"Under the conditions t just told the lads to go kick and rush โฆ and they finished full value for both points.
โThey all know there be no let up now.
โWe want to finish this season on the highest possible note โฆ in this highest possible position in the league."
โTacticsโ Tommy Docherty explains his methods.
