Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa can only draw with fourth from bottom Bolton to leave them with one win in eight under Tommy Docherty and the early hope of his reign fast disappearing as both boss and team appear to be losing their way.

  • Tommy Docherty's Villa now have just one win in their last eight games to make it eleven wins, fourteen draws and fifteen defeats in forty division two games so far this season.
