On This Day
Villa's poor start to the season under Steve Bruce continues as they suffer a second successive defeat and are winless in three Championship games.
Villa collapse to 23rd in the table without a win in three and concerns mount that a promotion challenge is beyond Steve Bruce’s men already.
James Chester makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W17 D15 L18, 3 Goals and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Sam Johnstone makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W8 D4 L13, 32 Goals Conceded and 8 Clean Sheets so far in his Villa career.
Birkir Bjarnason makes his 10th appearance in a Villa shirt (7 Starts) to make it W4 D0 L6 so far in his Villa career.
Recently departed Leandro "Champions League" Bacuna sat on the bench for his new club Reading.

🕒 | FT Aston Villa 4-2 Norwich City
On This Day
Villa win at the fourth attempt in the Championship in 2017-18 thanks to a hat-trick from the irrepressible Conor Hourihane.
Hourihane hat-trick now has 4 goals in two games as Villa rise to 16th in the table with 5 games played.
Bizarrely Steve Bruce doesn’t take credit for his attacking team selection and blames it on having his “hand … forced”. With two assists coming from Henri Lansbury who only took the field as an early substitute for the injured Josh Onomah and a third from a player he didn’t intend to play, confidence in the manager is not high and add to the concern that there is little in the way of a tactical plan at Villa Park.
Keinan Davis contributes his first assist on his first start for the club (9 Appearances) to make it W4 D2 L3, 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.
Henri Lansbury contributes his first assists for the club on his 21st appearance (19 Starts) to make it W8 D4 L9, 2 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Conor Hourihane’s hat-trick is Villa's first since Scott Sinclair in the League Cup on Tuesday, 25 August 2015 and is his 5th goal for the club in 21 appearances (16 Starts) to make it W8 D2 L11, 5 Goals, 3 Assists and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
André Green scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 23rd appearance (8 Starts) to make it W7 D4 L12, 1 Goals and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
John Terry secures his first win in a Villa shirt on his 4th appearance to make it W1 D1 L2 so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa are held at home by Dean Smith's footballing Brentford side to leave Steve Bruce with one win in six Championship matches.
André Green makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (10 Starts) to make it W7 D6 L12, 1 Goal and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Robert Snodgrass makes his debut in a Villa shirt to become the 916th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
With Villa clearly struggling in this their second season in the Championship, Steve Bruce pulls off a real transfer coup in signing West Ham winger Robert Snodgrass on loan to the end of the campaign. Snodgrass' presence could not help Villa make the breakthrough against future Villa boss Dean Smith’s talented Brentford side. As a result Villa tumbled back to 18th in the table.
Future Villa centre forward Ollie Watkins lines up for Brentford.

On This Day
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.
Bruce’s 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 £12,870,000 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.

On This Day
A Robert Snodgrass inspired Villa make it three league wins in a row for Steve Bruce's side who are suddenly 8th in the table.
The real catalyst however was Steve Bruce’s decision to name an unchanged line up for the first time this season. Bruce’s continual unenforced changes across the first twelve games of the season had contributed to Villa’s stuttering and sometimes painful start to the season.
Despite a large squad and only one long term injury (Jack Grealish) Steve Bruce’s selection changes confused more than they contributed, the hope now was a more settled side could be created to help Villa consolidate a top 8 position.
Robert Snodgrass scores his first goal and contributes his first assist in a Villa shirt on his 5th appearance (4 Starts) to make it W3 D2 L0, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
John Terry makes his 10th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W4 D4 L2 so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa win four in a row as form picks up under Steve Bruce and the famously open Championship delivers once again.
Steve Bruce resists the temptation to tinker with the line up and Villa reward him with a fourth straight league win courtesy of Jonathan Kodjia's first strike of the season as Villa climb to the heady heights of 7th - an unthinkable position just 3 weeks previously.
After 5 months out with injury, Jonathan Kodjia scores his 20th goal in a Villa shirt on his 41st appearance (40 Starts) to make it W18 D11 L12, 20 Goals, 2 Assists, 6 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Ahmed Elmohamady makes his 10th appearance for Villa to make it W5 D4 L1 and 3 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Glenn Whelan makes his 10th appearance for Villa to make it W5 D3 L2 and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Neil Taylor is sent off on his 25th appearance for Villa to make it W13 D6 L6, 1 Assist, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa lose the first time in nine Championship games as they come up against a team of ringers.
Villa come up against arguably the best side in the Championship. A side full of Champions League standard players not normally found in the second tier of English football.
In a refreshing twist Steve Bruce - perhaps buoyed by four successive wins - provides an unusually positive and objective verdict on the game much in contrast to his mutterings earlier in the season that had caused such alarm about the hands within which the club was being held.
Alan Hutton suffers his 75th defeat in a Villa shirt after 142 appearances (129 Starts) to make it W35 D32 L75, 1 Goal, 6 Assists, 31 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Villa lose for the second time in three games as Dean Smith's Brentford gain the upper hand once again.
Despite taking a lead within 9 minutes Villa can’t hang on for a first win in four as their difficult December continues.

On This Day
Villa win for the first time in six to leave them with eleven wins, seven draws and four defeats in their last twenty two Championship games.
Following the fantastic form from September to November with a settled and focused team the worry remained that as Steve Bruce began chopping and changing selections once again all the good work of the earlier period would be undone. 2018 was already looking like a make or break year for Bruce and for Villa.
Jack Grealish secures his 25th win in a Villa shirt on his 88th appearance (47 Starts) to make it W25 D18 L45, 6 Goals, 8 Assists, 10 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
Birkir Bjarnason secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 19th appearance (10 Starts) to make it W10 D2 L7, 1 Goal and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.
Robert Snodgrass secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 20th appearance (19 Starts) to make it W10 D6 L4, 3 Goals, 6 Assists and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa end an excellent campaign in severe disappointment as they lose in a highly controversial play off final only to face a fight for their very existence just days after.
Villa saved what was arguably their poorest performance of the season for the biggest game of an entertaining campaign.
Although Fulham were a popular team with the pundits, in truth they were fortunate to win the game in an evenly matched contest and were additionally fortunate not to have seen players sent off early in the game for some abysmal tackles.
For Villa’s part it was almost as if the players had a hangover and looked a shadow of their best form with no spearhead in attack and seemingly treading water in midfield.
Jack Grealish shone, despite Fulham’s assaults, and was involved in the best moves of the match however a solitary Fulham goal was enough for them to triumph and lap up the pundit plaudits.
For Villa the explanation of the seemingly distracted performance became clearer when it was revealed - through boardroom acrimony - that Villa were on the brink financially and in danger of going out of business.
The new owner had gambled the house on promotion and coming away losers signalled impending disaster. The immediate fallout was the loss of players who had contributed so much but who Villa simply couldn’t afford to keep in their now revealed straightened circumstances.
Alan Hutton suffers his 80th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 168th appearance (154 Starts) to make it W49 D39 L80, 1 Goal, 7 Assists, 34 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone makes his 70th and final appearance in a Villa shirt aged 25 before returning to Manchester United at the end of his season and a half long loan to leave with a record of W33 D15 L22, 1 Assist, 68 Goals Conceded and 30 Clean Sheets.
Winger Robert Snodgrass makes his 43rd and final appearance for Villa (41 Starts) aged 30 before returning to West Ham United at the end of his season long loan. In his short time with Villa Snodgrass had become a cult hero as he played an instrumental role in driving Villa up the Championship table. Snodgrass left the club with a record of W23 D10 L10 7 Goals, 14 Assists and 11 Bookings.
Midfielder Josh Onomah makes his 37th and final appearance for Villa (23 Starts) aged 21 before returning to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of his season long loan. Onomah had made 37 appearances, 14 as substitute and scored 4 goals in his stop start season with Villa to leave with a record of W19 D8 L10, 4 Goals, 3 Assists and 4 Bookings.
Centre back John Terry makes his 36th and final appearance for Villa aged 37 before retiring from football. Terry returned to Villa as assistant manager in 2018-19 but left with a playing record of W17 D9 L10, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 2 Bookings.
Centre Forward Lewis Grabban makes his 18th and final appearance of his loan spell from Bournemouth to leave with a record of W8 D4 L6, 8 Goals and 1 Assist.
Future Villa right back Matt Targett lines up for Fulham.
