On This Day
  • Villa lose for the second time in three third division games in the worst possible warm up for their third League Cup final. Prestonโ€™s win moves them joint top of the table with Villa as Fulham close the gap to one point with their victory as Halifax leapfrog Bristol Rovers into fourth.

  • Vic Crowe's League Cup finalists Villa lose for the second time in three League games to make it sixteen wins, eight draws and seven defeats in thirty one division three games so far this season. As a result, Villa now share top spot with Preston North End on goal average.

What they Said

โ€œIt is obviously easier to prepare the team for Wembley than it is to get them in the right frame of mind for a match like this.

โ€œWhile I've been trying to keep the lads front thinking of Wembley until after the Bury game, I have had six weeks to think about my team and plans for the gnat

"Nothing I saw at Bury will influence me or change my mind.โ€
