On This Day
Villa fail against a relegation threatened club for a second successive game to leave them with one win and four defeats in nine Premier League games under Graham Taylor but at least the new boss begins to show some interest and passion at the predicament Villa are in.

Ian Taylor scores his 40th goal in a Villa shirt on his 269th appearance (237 Starts) to make it W114 D71 L84, 40 Goals, 16 Assists, 47 Bookings and 2 Red Cards at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.80 games played so far in his Villa career.
Peter Schmeichel concedes 3 goals for the 7th time this season on his 34th appearance to make it W14 D8 L12, 1 Goal, 42 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.24 goals per game and 10 Clean Sheets (29%) so far in his Villa career.
Thomas Hitzlsperger contributes his 1st assist in a Villa shirt on his 7th appearance (5 Starts) to make it W1 D1 L5 and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.

What they Said
"I think it's fair to say I am angry and disappointed."
Graham Taylor.
*Nolan strike sinks Villa*
A stunning Kevin Nolan free-kick gave Bolton the three points they so desperately need in their attempt to beat relegation.
The 76th-minute strike set up a nervous last quarter of an hour at the Reebok Stadium, as Villa searched for an equaliser and Boltonโs fans prayed for the final whistle.
Nolanโs 25-yard effort handed Bolton only their fourth home win of the season - and lifted them above Sunderland to 15th place in the Premiership table.
The midfielder also played a key role in Boltonโs opening goal after just eight minutes.
His ambitious 30-yard volley deflected off Villa defender Mark Delaney to leave Peter Schmeichel completely helpless in the Villa goal.
But Bolton returned the favour on 15 minutes when Paul Warhurst diverted George Boatengโs cross past Kevin Poole.
Worse was to follow for the home side two minutes later when Ian Taylor rose highest to head home a Thomas Hitzlsperger corner.
But the Premiership strugglers hauled themselves back into the game on 40 minutes when Fredi Bobic scored his goal for the club.
The on-loan striker reacted quickest to poke home Youri Djorkaeffโs free-kick
The second half was a scrappy affair and neither side appeared to be doing enough to take all three points until Nolanโs dramatic intervention.
And after this second straight win, Sam Allardyceโs charges are well on their way to preserving their Premiership status.
