Villa lose to leaders Burnley to leave them eight points off the top, joint third with Blackpool and Oxford and four points off the second and final promotion place. The defeat, the biggest at home since Vic Crowe became manager, and the patience of the crowd wears thin.

MATCHDAY QUOTES
"I shall not criticise the crowd.
When you get 38,000 coming to a game and watching a poor performance, they are entitled to criticise
"This is something I have learned to accept, and so must the players.
“Our supporters have been patient for a long time and they must have been terribly disappointed today."
