Ron Saunders' Villa draw for the third successive game to make it eight wins, three draws and five defeats in sixteen division one games this season.
What they Said
"We played badly kept battling away and showed we haven't forgotten how 'to compete. In the end we looked the side more likely to snatch a winner."
Ron Saunders.
