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.

MATCHDAY QUOTES
"We are a good Second Division side.
“I know my problems, I have bought two of the players I want - the difficulty is getting the others.
“And apart from two players, there is no one in the reserves I can really being in.”
Tommy Docherty doesn’t inspire confidence.
