ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 8 December 1928
The stark inconsistency that had become such a hallmark of Billy Smith's reign rears its head again as despite a decent share of possession Villa are swept aside at Leeds Road by a dogged defence and superior finishing.
Villa fail to score for the first time in fifteen games to make it nine wins, two draws and six defeats in their seventeen division one games.
