ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 13 September 1958
Villa lose for the fifth consecutive game but only concede twice.. so things were looking up. Meanwhile, Eric Houghton misses the game to scout for "desperately needed" new players.
Eric Houghton's Villa suffer a fifth successive defeat for the first time since March 1951 and have now shipped twenty goals in five games. As a result Villa make it one win, one draw and five defeats in seven division one games so far this season, scoring twelve and conceding twenty three with an unexpected season of struggle
looking inevitable.
