On This Day
Villa, unbeaten in four, draw for the second successive match to make third place their own but they are now three points off second placed QPR and six off leaders Burnley.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it four games unbeaten but can only draw once again as they are held by Forest at Villa Park to make it ten wins, nine draws and four defeats in twenty three League games.
What they Said
โWe needed two points from this game to keep in the promotion race
"But, I suppose, we cannot complain too much, because if anyone had told me we would be third after Christmas I would have been happy."
Vic Crowe.
