Villa 🟩 win for the second time in three games to make it 🟩 four wins, 🟨 five draws and 🟥 two defeats in 🕒 eleven League games this season.
Vic Crowe 🏴 abandons stringing four midfielders across the park, plays three up front and promptly secures Villa's first 🟩 away win of the season to climb to joint sixth, one point off the final promotion place but already four points off leaders Middlesbrough.
Right back John Gidman 🏴 makes his 🕒 17th appearance in a Villa shirt and his first in 11 months and 39 games.
