ON THIS DAY
Steve Bruce’s Villa lose for the fourth time in five games in 2017 despite fielding what was arguably their strongest team in years.
Sadly a much changed line up didn’t immediately gel and Villa fell to defeat against an impressive and slick Brentford managed by Villa fan and future Villa boss Dean Smith.
Regardless the team was packed with quality and potential.
The excellent young ‘keeper Johnstone, the committed and talented left back Amavi, the dependable cult hero Hutton, the rejuvenated Baker, the leader Chester, the talented midfield trio of Lansbury, Bjarnason and Hourihane, the goal threat of Adomah and Kodjia and the exciting winger Green.
Given time this team could prove competitive at this level, the only real question was how long that would take and whether Villa could hold on to the core if it took too long.
Midfielder Conor Hourihane made his Villa debut aged 26 after joining from Barnsley for £3,150,000 earlier this month.
Midfielder Birkir Bjarnason made his Villa debut aged 28 after joining from FC Basel 1893 for £1,800,000 earlier this month.
