For the third consecutive game Villa lose to inferior opposition as a failure to capitalise costs them heavily.
Villa lose for the third successive games to make it four wins, three draws and five defeats in twelve division one games.
Almost as if it was punishment for the embarrassment of losing to their neighbours, Villa collapse to 13th in the table having been 4th three games earlier.
Birmingham remain bottom of the table.
This would be Villa's final game at St Andrew's before Birmingham underwent their fourth name change to add the self styled - and controversially adopted - City to their name during WW2.
The club, originally, and correctly named Small Heath after the district they represented, had felt that the adoption of such a presumptious moniker would deliver them success hitherto completely absent from their history. It didn't, but it did allow generations of supporters of Birmingham's smallest club to claim, however factually, morally and historically inaccurate that they were the true representatives of the city of Birmingham.
