🟥 23 September 1989, Villa 1-3 QPR, Villa Park.
ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 23 September 1989
Villa continue their difficult start to the season as they lose for the third time in seven games having won once and fall into the relegation places in the early table.
Villa lose to a Trevor Francis inspired QPR in a poor performance.
Nevertheless the condemnation from the local rag feels misplaced for a recently promoted team in their second season under one of the most talented managers around attempting to rebuild the club and with a raft of new players.
Ian Olney contributes his first assist in a Villa shirt on his 26th appearance (13 Starts) to make it W7 D8 L11 and 6 goals at a goal involvement per game rate of one for every 3.71 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
