On This Day
Villa make it three points out of their last sixteen available as they lose for the fourth successive game and for the seventh time in nine games to fall to within five points of the relegation places, fifteen points off the last promotion spot and joint 15th in the table.
Tommy Cummings' Villa lose four successive games for the first time this season and lose for the seventh time in nine to make it thirteen wins, three draws and seventeen defeats in thirty three League games so far this season as their mid-season form collapses.
