Villa, winless in nine second division games under Tommy Docherty, remain rooted to the bottom of the table as 15 year old Jimmy Brown impresses on his debut.
Tommy Docherty's terrible season continues as he once again makes mass changes in an attempt to reverse Villa's slide under his custodianship. As a result Villa lose once again to make it two draws and seven losses in nine division two games so far this season.
Meanwhile, midfielder Jimmy Brown made his Villa debut after joining from schoolboy football. In so doing Jimmy became Villa’s youngest-ever player at 15 years and 349 days.
