  • Villa meet an ultra defensive Oxford and are held to a goalless draw with the dropped point meaning Villa remain bottom of the table, three points from safety with three games left to play.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa make it two unbeaten but can only draw at home to record two wins, four draws and seven defeats in his thirteen games in charge. As a result Villa make it six wins, thirteen draws and twenty defeats in thirty nine division two matches this season scoring 24 goals and conceding 61. Villa remained bottom of the table on 25 points but with relegation rivals Preston North End (27) and Charlton Athletic (28) also drawing, potential safety is still within reach with six points left to play for.

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

“I thought Oxford’s performance was diabolical.

“They were negative throughout and I will never ask a Villa team to play in this way.

“We tried. perhaps in vain, to break a nine man defensive set-up and were unlucky not to have beaten them by a clear margin."

Vic Crowe.
