MATCH QUOTES

Villa.gif
2509-2.png
"It was a grand game of football and both sides brought credit on themselves considering the heavy conditions. โ€œChris [Nicholl] mistimed his header and it [conceding the first goal] was entirely due to conditions. "I suppose we will be called the comeback Kings after this. But I am worried about the early goals we are conceding which can only be put down to lack of concentration for the first 20 minutes or so.โ€ Ron Saunders.
