On This Day
Saturday, 29 March 1969
Villa lose for only the second time in fourteen League games under Tommy Docherty but are now without a win in five to leave them 15th in the table and struggling for form once again. More worryingly the downturn is happening against a backdrop of confidence sapping comments from a previously ebullient Docherty.
Tommy Docherty's Villa are beaten for only the second time in fourteen League matches under his stewardship but have now not won in five to make it ten wins, thirteen draws and fourteen defeats in thirty seven division two games so far this season.

What they Said
"We are a good Second Division side.
โI know my problems, I have bought two of the players I want - the difficulty is getting the others.
โAnd apart from two players, there is no one in the reserves I can really being in.โ
Tommy Docherty doesnโt inspire confidence.
