On This Day
Villa are destroyed in the second half at Villa Park despite taking an early lead in what it described as a "capitulation" and "quite one of their worst displays for many years" as Villa remain twentieth in the table, in the relegation places and now four points from safety.
Villa 🟥 lose successive League games and continue their woeful form to leave them with just 🟩 five wins in thirty Division One games and 🟥 fifteen defeats.
As a result Graham Turner 🏴 and Chairman Ellis' resignations are demanded as both the local media and fans call time on their incompetent regime.
Darren Bradley 🏴 20 makes his his 23rd and final appearance in a Villa shirt (19 Starts) before moving on to West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £90,000 later this month. Bradley left with a record of 🟩 W7 🟨 D6 🟥 L10.
What they Said
“I understand the frustrations of the crowd but let them be assured that there is no-one more concerned than myself, the board and everyone at Villa,"
Herbert Douglas Ellis returns to a tired old script.
