  • It's another 7 day break between matches which is as welcome as it is confusing but Villa's form is so poor that they lose at the Hawthorns to a side that they have won three and drawn two of their last games against.

  • It is a third successive loss as Eric Houghton is now without a win in nine scoring just 10 goals in 12 games his season.

  • A poor season is very quickly becoming concerning as Villa continue their fall down the table.

  • Winger Colin Gibson makes his final Villa appearance before moving on to Lincoln City in January 1956. Gibson played for Villa between 1948-49 and 1955-56 making 167 appearances and scoring 26 goals.
