Time to map out a plan for Villa's future

Tai Woffinden heading in the right direction
Thursday 18th August 2011, 11:25AM BST.
Wolves star Tai Woffinden is determined to race more with his head and a little less with his heart.
The 21-year-old has had an injury and virus-ridden season punctuated by numerous spills.
But he produced quick and composed riding, including a fine win in the last-heat decider, as Wolves beat King’s Lynn at Monmore Green on Monday.
“I’ve had a few off weeks in England and don’t really know what to put it down to,” he said.
“I just haven’t been myself, really. I got this virus thing, flu, I don’t know what it was. The doctors couldn’t put their finger on it.
“And I’ve had so many crashes in England this year, and that doesn’t help.
“I can feel a bit of a turnaround coming,” said Woffinden, who dropped only two points from five rides in Monday’s encounter.
“I’ve been going well in Poland, I got (paid) 15 on Sunday, and I’m just trying to think about what I’m doing on the track – be smoother, use my head more, nothing drastic,” he added.
“I’ll keep telling myself that for the next few meetings.
“I want to win that much that I’ll ride beyond my limits – and that’s when you crash and do stupid things. Sometimes you’ve got to go slower to go faster.”
