MATCHDAY QUOTES

"Manager Glenn Hoddle has decided not to pay his players draw bonuses and they always looked capable of boosting their pay packets as Villa missed a series of chances."

*The Sunday Tribune*
Sunday, 15 October 1995

Dennis Wise shrugged aside midweek disappointment with England to hoist Chelsea up the Premiership table.

Villa never lived up to their second-in-the-table status and rarely played with the confidence expected from a side unbeaten in seven matches.

Wise was substituted during England's insipid draw in Norway but at Villa Park managed to grab the goal that had eluded him at the Ulleval stadium.

England coach Terry Venables, though, cannot call on Mark Hughes and it was the Welsh international who cleverly set up Wise for his 72nd minute decider.

He controlled David Lee's pass and held the ball intelligently until Wise arrived to drill his pass beyond Mark Bosnich.

Manager Glenn Hoddle has decided not to pay his players draw bonuses and they always looked capable of boosting their pay packets as Villa missed a series of chances.

Dmitri Kharine dealt easily with a couple of long-range Savo Milosevic pot shots and Kharine touched a fierce lan Taylor volley against the post.
