MATCH QUOTES

"In spite of what seems to be the general opinion we don't set out to play defensively either home or away. “Certainly not at Villa Park for there would be just no point in that at all. What happened out there this afternoon was that we got the breaks for the first time for a long time. And that is so important." Vic Crowe.
