Alan Curbishley’s words should serve as a warning and an inspiration to Aston Villa's match-winner, Steven Davis wrote Phil Shaw in The Independent today.
Curbs said: "It's a tough old game in the Premiership. You can never think you've arrived."
"One or two players have been knocking on my door recently asking for a chance but they didn't really do it."
"Danny Murphy (dropped to the bench) and Dennis Rommedahl (out of the 16) haven't been doing it lately," he added.
