MATCH QUOTES

"At the moment, we have to beat ourselves before we can beat anyone else. ”The lads are still playing under tremendous pressure. “They might be the bottom team In the league ... but people still expect so much from them. "That's why they let Oxford off the hook. “They had It all sewn up until they suddenly realised they were winning comfortably with only ten minutes left. “Then, the nearer they came to giving the Villa fans a victory, the more ragged and nervous !hey became.” Tommy “The fans expect so much” Docherty.
