What they Said
โI think the return to the Third Division can help my game a bit.
โI didnโt lack confidence last season, but didnโt get many goals.
โA lot of goals would be good for me and Villa.
โThereโs a terrific team spirit at Villa Park now, and to start off with a win away from home was great.
โTalking after the match, the lads were delighted and discovered it was the first time we had scored three goals in a match since losing 5-3 to Portsmouth [in January 1970].โ
Bruce Rioch.
