On This Day
Saturday, 5 April 1969
Villa lose to bottom three side Oxford to leave them with one win in seven games and two defeats in three under Tommy Docherty as cracks begin to appear between the manager and players.
Tommy Docherty's Villa lose for the second time in three games and now have just one win in their last seven games as their excellent early form under the new boss rapidly becomes a distant memory. Villa make it eleven wins, thirteen draws and fifteen defeats in thirty nine division two games so far this season.

What they Said
โThey were terrible.
โThe people I feel sorry for are the fans who travelled from Birmingham โฆ we really let them down.
โIt was not so much losing but the way in which we lost.
โIt was a shocking team performance.
โTheir attitude was all wrong.โ
Tommy Docherty suggests the dressing room is no longer responding.
