  • Villa score for the first time in four League games - their second and third goals in seven second division games - but they are already two down to fellow strugglers Millwall at Villa Park before Dave Rudge’s three minute brace secures Villa’s second point of the season to sit joint bottom of the table with Watford.

  • Tommy Docherty's Villa make it two draws and five losses in seven division two games so far this season arresting a run of four losses and leapfrogging Watford to climb to second from bottom of the table.

🟩 12 Apr 2025, Villa 3-0 Southampton, St Mary's TBL.png

"Not so long ago I said [Brian] Godfrey had no place in my team plans.

“He set out to prove me wrong and today he did just that: I'm delighted.

“People have told me that a win today would have made all the difference to our confidence … but I wonder.

“It’s not just winning but how you win.

“A scrappy win does nothing to improve a team’s confidence.

“I have struggled myself in a struggling team - and it’s only when you play well and then collect both points that the confidence really starts to build up.

“It’s no use pulling a team apart if you haven’t got better players to come in.

“All we need is time - and patience from the fans a little longer.

“I’m convinced this is still my strongest side and they it will eventually come good.”

Tommy Docherty.
