  • Villa make it two wins and three defeats in five games as Jimmy McMullan's start to life as manager continues to underwhelm.

  • Villa are yet to keep a clean sheet under McMullan and have conceded ten goals in two games and 15 in five.

  • Villa slump to 17th position in the table but are level on points with 6 other clubs.

  • Forward George Brown made his 129th and final appearance for Villa aged 31 during which time he scored 90 goals before moving on to Burnley in October.
