Not a really good championship challenge for Aston Villa. The results were rather disappointing, with the team ending up in the 13th position with just 11 wins and a 48-50 goals.

Team stars Lee Hendrie, Darious Vassel Albach and De la Cruz performed rather well, with Vassel having 21 goals and Hendrie a 7,41 rating.

Q.P.R.

Q.P.R. as well ended in the middle of the table, however this had been expected by supporters, who were not angry at all. You can take an idea of the squad here, (20kb) whereas the league table is shown in this picture (30kb): 18 matches won with 45-41 goals scored and 64 in the league was a decent outcome for both Q.P.R fans and board.

However, it was just not enough for the team to seek qualificatin for the play offs. The job after that was safe.
