On This Day
Villa are well beaten at the Manor Ground, scoring a late goal that disguises the gulf between the teams as Oxford knock Villa out of the League Cup semi final and pressure mounts on the Villa hierarchy.
Graham Turnerโs Villa lose the away leg of the League Cup semi final against an Oxford United side having an even worse League season than Villa.

What they Said
"We feel that for the good of the club and its future Mr Ellis must take stock of his position before further damage is done to our once great club.
โThis decline has occurred during his period as chairman and paid director."
Statement from the Aston Villa Shareholders Association.
"We just let the game slip.
โFor some of the players the game just passed them by.
"I would imagine some can't remember much about it.
โAt least two or three of them looked in a bit of a dream.
"It will obviously be difficult to get over the defeat.
โI have never experienced a disappointment of this magnitude.
โBut it has got to be forgotten by tomorrow.โ
Graham Turner.
