Taylor made only his third start for the Midlands club – and his first at Villa Park – against Tottenham, because the regular keeper Thomas Sorensen has a shoulder injury.The former England Under-21 pulled off several fine saves and was only beaten by Juan Pablo Angel’s own goal – 60-odd seconds after the Colombian striker missed a penalty.Taylor said: “Obviously it’s been a long wait for me. Having drawn at home on Saturday, there is a bit more pressure now to beat Fulham this weekend and get three points.”Villa’s stand-in goalkeeper Stuart Taylor is hoping that he has given O’Neill a selection headache for the visit of Chris Coleman’s side. The confidence is there and we don’t roll over now so it is possible. It is maybe a mini-target for us to achieve but in between we want to pick up as many points as possible. Barry was part of John Gregory’s team which made a strong start to the 1998-99 campaign and briefly enjoyed a spell at the top of the Premiership before eventually falling to eighth.
Now the defender-turned-midfielder-turned-defender-again is playing a major role in the start made by Martin O’Neill’s side and after eight games Villa are the only side unbeaten, following Everton’s weekend reversal at Middlesbrough.Barry, who kept the run going with a superb equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham, said: “I’d heard Everton had lost after Saturday’s game to leave us as the only unbeaten team and it’s been a brilliant start.”If people had said we would have been the last unbeaten team, it would have been hard to believe, especially with the away fixtures we faced at Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea.”Can we beat the record? It’s a tough ask There are so many tough teams.

“I do not want to put any pressure on the defence, but we are better this year and that has a lot to do with Ian Pearce being fit and Zat Knight being back to his best,” he said “Those two boys have been superb.”. As captain of the last unbeaten team in the top four divisions, Gareth Barry has set his sights on helping Aston Villa break the record he helped create six years ago by making their best-ever start to a season. But we need other people to chip in.”Charlton’s failure to add to Bent’s goal owed much to some stout defending from the Fulham centre-backs Ian Pearce and Zat Knight.The Cottagers’ rearguard have attracted criticism in the past, but their manager, Chris Coleman, believes Pearce and Knight have forged a formidable partnership. “He worked the channels, was a handful throughout and a couple of his passes were out of the top drawer.”He also scored a great goal – it was only half a chance, a very composed finish.

It’s a test of character under difficult circumstances.”One of the problems facing Charlton is their over-reliance on Darren Bent, who has scored all but one of the club’s six Premiership goals this season.The England striker was on target once again against Fulham on Monday night and Dowie has urged his team-mates to relieve the pressure on him.”We’re continuing to rely too heavily on Darren and we can’t keep doing that I thought he was magnificent against Fulham,” he said. They’ll test every sinew we have and we have to make sure we’re up to that battle. It’s a big game but we must have the bravery to get the ball and pass it. Honesty and endeavour will get us out of this situation.”The Watford game now takes on huge proportions, we’re aware of that I’m a great admirer of Adrian – he’s done a terrific job.

If you start questioning what you’re doing because results aren’t going your way, you end up getting bitten on the backside It’s about sticking together. The Addicks’ horrendous start to the season continued with Monday’s 2-1 loss at Fulham, leaving them with seven Premiership defeats from eight games.
Pressure is mounting on Dowie, with Charlton anchored to the foot of the table and a clearer picture of his future should emerge after Saturday’s game at home to Watford.Adrian Boothroyd’s Premiership newcomers are just one place above Charlton and, even at this early stage, the encounter is being viewed as a crucial relegation showdown.Dowie insists “honesty and endeavour” will help Charlton to emerge from their nightmare start and is adamant that spirits at The Valley remain good despite the confidence- sapping run of results.”Of course, every time you get beaten people start to question themselves But morale around the camp has been good,” he said “The intensity of the training has been very high We have to keep doing the right thing. But after being passed fit to play against Chelsea, he had to hobble off after 32 minutes.Reading are still hoping that Kitson will not need surgery after he continued a course of injections in his knee at the weekend. That is not the case, however, for the Hungary Under-21 international Mate, who sustained a cruciate knee ligament tear in a reserve game at Aldershot last month and will now need an operation to fix the problem.. Iain Dowie insists morale remains high as stricken Charlton prepare for an encounter of “huge proportions” against Watford next weekend.

It is the latest blow for the newly promoted Royals, who say that their striker Dave Kitson “is weeks away” from a return after damaging a knee in the opening match of the season while the on-loan Hungarian defender Peter Mate could be out for up to eight months, also with a knee injury.
Reading, who are eighth in the Premiership despite defeat by Chelsea in Saturday’s controversial home game, also have the midfielder Simon Cox out of action with a broken ankle but the American winger Bobby Convey should return to face Arsenal at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday after missing the Chelsea game with knee trouble.Murty missed the 1-0 win at West Ham on 1 October and was then forced to pull out of Scotland’s two Euro 2008 qualifiers against France and Ukraine. If West Ham, who are £23.5m in debt, are satisfied with the Magnusson bid they will allow his advisers to look at the club’s accounts and carry out due diligence A takeover could then be finalised in a matter of weeks.. Reading’s captain, Graeme Murty, has been ruled out for up to three weeks with hamstring injuries in both legs and will miss the Premiership games against Arsenal and Portsmouth as well as the Carling Cup trip to Liverpool. Yet Magnusson, also a key member of Uefa, the European game’s governing body,is an admirer of West Ham’s under-pressure manager, Alan Pardew.Negotiationsare expected to focus on how much of the consortium’s money would be in cash and how much in equity and loans.
