On This Day
Villa concede on 87โ as their conservative approach to games away from home costs them once again. Despite their approach however Villa still had the majority of chances and could have taken the points had they played with greater ambition.
Vic Crowe's Villa lose successive games to make it two wins, five draws and two defeats in nine League games this season. Successive defeats for the first time since March leave Villa languishing in 10th place in Division Two (Played 9, Points 9), 3 points off the promotion places occupied by Fulham (Played 9, Points 12) and Middlesbrough (Played 9, Points 13)
What they Said
โFive goals from Aston Villa is not so much a rarity as a miracle these days and when they come with such ease and conviction the real surprise is that it does not happen more often.โ
