Villa are hammered at Bramall Lane and fall back to third from bottom of the table, level on points with Millwall and one point above safety. Tommy Docherty, with four wins in twenty two games, heaps blame on an 18 year old, 16 year old and a 23 year old as there seems little personal recognition of the much fawned over managerโs own performance.
Tommy Docherty's terrible season continues as Villa's run of just two defeats in twelve - having lost eight of the previous eleven - comes crashing down as Villa are humiliated at Bramall Lane to make it four wins, eight draws and ten defeats in twenty two division two matches.

What they Said
โA thoroughly disappointing and poor all round show.
โIt is a long time since I have seen a side so outclassed.
โMy heart bleeds for Villa.โ
Villa great Ronnie Starling.
โSheffield United are a very good side.
โWhat chance do you stand if you give away four silly goals?
โJohn Phillips [18 and in his 8th game for the club] lets in two soft ones for the first goals;
โFull back Mick Wright is caught on the wrong side of his hand for the third and Jimmy Brown [16] played a bad ball out of defence for the fifth.โ
Tommy Docherty.
