Match Media
On This Day
  • Vic Crowe's Villa make it successive League victories for the first time since October to make it eleven wins, six draws and four defeats in twenty one division three games so far this season.

  • Villa win, Fulham lose and Rovers win to leave the Bristol team top of the table and Fulham and Villa joint second, two points behind. Villaโ€™s victory comes courtesy of a third successive clean sheet and Chico Hamiltonโ€™s tenth goal of the season to make him Villaโ€™s joint top scorer with Pat McMahon and Andy Lochhead.

What they Said

โ€œThatโ€™s a tremendous psychological factor.

โ€œAnother booking and I will be up before an FA Disciplinary Committee, so thereโ€™s always the fear of suspension.

โ€œIt has affected my game a little - itโ€™s bound to.

โ€œSometimes I pull back just that little bit or take the tiniest amount of edge offa tackle.

โ€œBut Iโ€™m not particularly worried about this latest spell [one goal in his last nine games].

โ€œGoal scoring is not the greater part of my game, but, as a centre forward, Iโ€™m expected to knock in a few.

โ€œSeventy per cent of my game is taking the knocks and laying the ball off - making chances for others.โ€

Andy Lochhead.
