Robson on `valuable` Aston Villa point

"It was a valuable point. We would have liked three points but we wouldn't have deserved them," said Robson.

"We are still on course for the fourth spot and, with a game in hand, the prospects are good. But we have to play with courage and conviction.

"We were indebted again to Alan Shearer. His performance of 199 goals in the Premiership is a tremendous achievement, particularly when you remember he was absent for two seasons. "
