On This Day
Villa record a second successive draw to accumulate two points from two games under Vic Crowe and equal the tally achieved by Tommy Docherty in his previous six games in charge.
Villa's point comes against promotion chasing and second placed Cardiff.
Scarcely believably however a horribly confused fan base submit a “Bring back Docherty” petition and sing the former manager’s name in Villa’s highest League attendance for over three months whilst ignoring new boss Vic Crowe.
Quite why a failure of such epic proportions as Docherty’s 26 game run would prompt demands for a repeat is never adequately explained, for Docherty, already in employment with Porto, he starts his reign with defeat. Villa remain bottom of the table, three points off safety with a game in hand over Watford and Preston.
Vic Crowe's Villa secure a second successive draw to make it make it four wins, eleven draws and thirteen defeats in twenty eight division two matches and remain bottom of the table, three points adrift of safety.

Villa beat second placed Cardiff in Tommy Docherty’s second game in charge as the recalled Barrie Hole scores for the second successive match and new-boy Brian Tiler, signed by Docherty the previous Monday, scores on debut.
For good measure Willie Anderson, dropped by former boss Tommy Cummings, continues his rehabilitation under Docherty with his second assist in two games.
Tommy Docherty makes it two wins in two as Villa now have five wins in the last thirty games and make it five wins, eight draws and twelve defeats in twenty five division two games so far this season.
Villa win consecutive games for the first time this season - a feat witnessed by the highest gate in the second division this season.
Meanwhile, centre back Brian Tiler made a goalscoring debut aged 25 after moving from Rotherham United for a free of £33,000 on Monday.

On This Day
Even the nationals led with the headline news of a shocking refereeing decision to allow Cardiff's winner. "Cardiff's corner on the left was cleared, but went to their back, Alex Milne. He lobbed the ball back into the Villa penalty area, and there was Tapscott, out on-his own and looking yards offside. But referee Collinge allowed play to continue; and all " Tappy " had to do was nod his head and send the bail past helpless Nigel Sims."
Joe Mercer’s Villa end 1961 with two successive losses to make it nine wins, five draws and nine defeats in twenty three Division One games this season.

On This Day
Described as a game that none of the 50,000 who attended will ever forget, Villa and Cardiff go toe to toe in a high tempo battle of two excellent football teams. Villa though, with the edge, take the win and continue their unbeaten home run. Villa remain one point ahead of Rotherham at the top of the table but open a three point gap to Cardiff in third and are now seven points clear of 4th placed Middlesbrough.
Joe Mercer's Villa bounce back from their shock defeat at Millmoor to beat Cardiff and make it fourteen wins, five draws and three defeats, all away, in twenty two division two games so far this season.
