On This Day
Villa drop to joint fifth in the table after their first defeat of the season leaves them with two wins in their first eight second division games under Vic Crowe. Ironically though, despite leaving without any points, Villaโs performance is an improvement on recent games but the surprise half time substitution of the captain suggested at the least that there was some confusion in the dug out as to how Villa wanted to play and who could best deliver.
Vic Crowe's Villa end a run of four successive draw with defeat as their seven game unbeaten run from the start of the season comes to an end.

What they Said
โWe were a goal down and had to attack so we made the switch [taking off captain Jimmy Brown for Ray Graydon at half time].
โIn theory at least it was a move which worked for Graydon had three good chances and could have scored from any of them.
โMind you, if we go on giving away dreadful goals like these out there this afternoon we shall soon be in the workhouse.โ
Ron Wylie, Villa assistant manager.
