Villa slump to 20th in the table, joint bottom alongside Grimsby and Preston.
Up next are Grimsby at Villa Park who sit bottom on goals but who already have a game in hand on Villa.
Although form under McMullan had been poor for a signifcant period, it is a shock to most observers when it is revealed the manager, who had signed a one year extension to remain in post for 1935-36, resigned his position following Villa's latest defeat.
Unsurprisingly the resignation was accepted by Chairman Normansell and it was revealed that Villa would revert to the management committee structure for the remainder of the campaign.
McMullan left with a record of Played 55, Won 17 (31%), Lost 23 (42%) at a rate of 1.20 points per game.
