If the QPR defeat represented hope for Vic Crowe’s side then the visit to Hull’s signature was pure despair as Villa concede a first half penalty for handling and don’t recover to leave them bottom of the table and facing almost certain relegation after a second successive defeat.
Vic Crowe's Villa lose for the fourth time under his stewardship to record one win, two draws and four defeats in his seven games and make it five wins, eleven draws and seventeen defeats in thirty three division two matches this season.
