On This Day
Villa - having scored only nine goals since January - are held to a fourth successive draw in the soaking conditions against relegation threatened neighbours Walsall. Villa remain joint third, four points off leaders Preston and three behind Fulham.
Vic Crowe's Villa draw for the fourth successive game to make it sixteen wins, twelve draws and seven defeats in thirty five division three games so far this season.
What they Said
“This was a game we dearly wanted to win.
“We did everything but score in the second half and I have no complains about the way the lads played.
“I am disappointed that we have dropped another point but with 11 games to go I still believe we have an excellent chance for promotion.
“The lack of goals is worrying but I am sure we will get back on the goal standard very shortly.”
Vic Crowe.
