Second string Villa are dumped out of the EFL Cup at home by fellow Championship side Boro as Steve Bruce continues to cling on to this job with little sign of the spark needed to kick start the season.
One step forward two steps back under Steve Bruce with a home capitulation against Middlesbrough having failed to beat them two games previously with a full strength squad.
Bruceโs mass change of personnel fail to spark Villa and selection confusion once again prove the hallmark of the season.
Tommy Elphick is sent off on his 28th appearance in a Villa shirt (22 Starts) to make it W8 D9 L11, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 6 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Midfielder Jordan Lyden makes his 8th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (3 Starts) aged 21 ahead of being released by the club in March 2019. Lyden had signed professional forms in July 2014 after coming through the youth team ranks and left with a record of W2 D1 L5, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 0 Bookings.
Forward Ross McCormack makes his 24th and final appearance for Villa (14 Starts) aged 31 ahead of being released by the club in June 2019. McCormack had cost Villa ยฃ12,870,000 from Fulham but made just 24 appearances and scored 3 goals to leave a record of W8 D7 L9, 3 Goals, 1 Assist and 5 Bookings.
Winger Corey Blackett-Taylor makes his final appearance for Villa aged 19 before being released by the club in July 2019. Blackett-Taylor had signed professional forms in July 2016 after coming through the youth team ranks and made 2 appearances for the club.

Steve Bruce does not select any of the players who had stopped the rot and secured Villa's first 3 goal away win in 2 and a half years.
In come Jed Steer for his regular EFL Cup appearance, Ritchie De Laet (first start in 5), Christopher Samba (first start in 4), Henri Lansbury, Scott Hogan (first start in 5), James Bree (first start in 4), Josh Onomah, Birkir Bjarnason, Alan Hutton (first start in 6), Tommy Elphick (first start in 5), Jake Doyle Hayes (first start in 5) and Callum OโHare (first start in 5).
The bench is unrecognisable too with Ross McCormack (1 substitute appearance since February 2017), Jordan Lyden (second squad appearance of the season), Corey Blackett-Taylor (first squad appearance since March 2017), Micah Richards (last played October 2016) and Mitch Clark.

What they Said
"It was the third time in the past four games that Steve Bruceโs side have failed to score."
*Patrick Bamford scored twice as Middlesbrough beat 10-man Aston Villa to reach the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.*
The forward netted from the penalty spot after being brought down by Tommy Elphick, who was shown a second yellow card.
Bamford, who hit the crossbar with a header in the first half, nodded in his second with 23 minutes remaining.
Villa defender Elphick earlier had an effort of his own ruled out.
Jake Doyle-Hayes shot, comfortably saved by Boro goalkeeper Dimi Konstantopoulos, was one of Villaโs best efforts.
It was the third time in the past four games that Steve Bruceโs side have failed to score.
