On This Day
Villa make it 32 points from their last 36 available as Chris Nicholl makes his debut to add to a squad already improved with the arrival of Ian Ross. Meanwhile, Notts County draw as Bournemouth and Brighton win but Villa remain top with a game in hand over Bournemouth who are a point behind, four points clear of Brighton and seven ahead of a disappearing Notts County.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it thirteen wins in fifteen and twenty three wins, three draws and six defeats in division three so far this campaign. Villa (played 32, points 49) now have a game in hand over second placed Bournemouth (played 33, points 48) and third placed Brighton and Hove Albion (played 32, points 45).
Meanwhile, centre back Chris Nicholl made his Villa debut aged 25 after moving from Luton Town earlier this week for a fee of ยฃ75,000. Nicholl joined fellow new boys Ian Ross and Jim Cumbes in a new look defence ready for the second division.
