What they Said
โWe are basically an away team. Our football is less than enthralling and when need that little bit extra at home we just have not got the players at present who can give it to us.
โIt makes it very difficult to watch us at Villa Park but somehow you can get away with it away from home.
โI did not intend it that was but that is how it has worked out.
โMaybe it will change when our injured players are fit, otherwise I shall have to bring some new faces in.
โ[Our next League game is not for a fortnight] that should see us down to sixth or seventh which is about our true position.โ
Graham Taylor.
