MATCH QUOTES

Villa.gif
2509-2.png
"How can it be fair and right to ask any club to play six of their last eight matches away from home. "It just doesn't make sense. "We have to start all over again. โ€œI know what has happened. Several players have gone off the boil but I am not going to name them. "The trouble is that my players have to live with a massive fear complex, a fear of losing. It showed again today." Vic Crowe.
