Graham Taylor's 🏴 Villa start 1988 with the biggest win under his leadership to date and have now 🟥 lost just once in twenty one Division Two games, 🟩 winning twelve.
Midfielder Paul Birch 🏴 makes his 🕒 150th start in a Villa shirt (159 Appearances).
Centre forward Garry Thompson 🏴 🔥 creates Andy Gray’s 🏴 ⚽ goal to contribute his 20th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 47th appearance doing so at a rate of one goal involvement for every 2.35 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Midfielder Mark Lillis 🏴 makes his 🕒 25th appearance in a Villa shirt.
What they Said
“He [Stuart Gray] is still a little sore but more relaxed now that the initial fears have subsided.
"Naturally he was worried bearing in mind that he underwent back surgery three years ago.
"But his mind is now at rest that this is a muscular rather than a bone injury.
"If Stuart is out for any length of time I might have to spend [some of the £600,000 Glasgow Rangers paid Villa for Mark Walters] just to get a team out.
"The very good performance yesterday was tempered by the loss of Gray.
"Meanwhile, there's nothing to be frightened of at the top of the division. It's being there after the 44th match that matters."
Graham Taylor.
