ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 22 March 1969

Tommy Docherty's Villa now have one League defeat in thirteen matches and seven wins under his stewardship but have now not won in four to make it ten wins, thirteen draws and thirteen defeats in thirty six division two games so far this season. The results however are only one side of the story with the football under Docherty best described as conservative, the aggression, fouls and booking counts up and time-wasting used as a clear tactic, but despite the concerns, Docherty's results are keeping Villa well away from the danger zone but seventeen games into his tenure there is widespread desire for the shackles to come off and for the football to mirror the manager's self confidence.

MATCH QUOTES

"Of course We should have won. “We were the better side. But if next season we can win at Carlisle and get draws at places like Charlton, Middlesbrough and Blackpool then I shall be a happy man.” Tommy Docherty sets his sights worryingly low.
