Tommy Wood replaces Billy Kingdon.
As many observers suspected Villa in joint fourth after three games flattered to deceive and so it proved as Jimmy McMullan leads the side to a five goal defeat that could, and should, have been far more were it not for Harry Morton.
Villa, described as "hopelessly inferior" simply did not operate as a team once again as they gift Wolves their first win of the season
Villa now have two wins and two defeats in their first four games under McMullan and fall back to joint 6th in the early table.
Villa have no clean sheet in four under Jimmy McMullan conceding ten.
