ON THIS DAY
Friday, 28 January 1972
Villa win for the tenth time in twelve League games to sit a point clear of Notts County at the top of the table and two ahead of Bournemouth in third but a section of fans are vocal about their unhappiness with the lack of flair in Villa’s football. Football isn’t a rational game.
Vic Crowe's Villa make it eight wins in nine and eighteen wins, two draws and six defeats in division three so far this campaign. As a result, Villa go three points clear at the top of the table (38) however promotion rivals Notts County (35) and Bournemouth (35) both have a game in hand.
