Villa Career Form:
What they Said
"I thought we were a little bit tired.
โIt was a difficult game for us.
โI think that the second game over the three-day period is quite difficult psychologically.
"It's quite tiring. We have been in an hotel since Friday and it's Christmas and they are a little bit tired and fed up.
โAnd I guess that sort of showed a little bit in our play.โ
Brian Little.
