On This Day
  • Villa bounce back from their first third division defeat with a narrow victory over Doncaster despite a poor performance as Andy Lochhead scores his first goal for the club and Villa rise to joint second, one point behind leaders Fulham with five played.

  • Vic Crowe's Villa bounce back from their ten man loss as Andy Lochhead finally scores 16 games after joining Villa from Leicester City in February. As a result, Villa make it three wins, a draw and a defeat in five division three games so far this season.

What they Said

"Pathetic.

"We played badly, let's be frank about it - surely we can't play so poorly again?

โ€œBut I suppose If you play that badly and win, you can't complain.

Mick Wright.


"I was glad to get that over with [Scoring his first goal in his seventeenth game].

"I was so anxious. The ball hung so long in the air I thought it would never drop Into the net.โ€

Andy Lochhead.
