ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 2 October 1973
Villa concede on 87’ as their conservative approach to games away from home costs them once again. Despite their approach however Villa still had the majority of chances and could have taken the points had they played with greater ambition.
Vic Crowe's Villa lose successive games to make it two wins, five draws and two defeats in nine League games this season. Successive defeats for the first time since March leave Villa languishing in 10th place in Division Two (Played 9, Points 9), 3 points off the promotion places occupied by Fulham (Played 9, Points 12) and Middlesbrough (Played 9, Points 13)
