Villa lose successive games in all competitions as their four game unbeaten run comes to an end to make it five wins in the last twenty second tier games and an overall record of nine wins, ten draws and seven defeats in twenty six division two matches. Jimmy McMullan had recorded five wins, five draws and three defeats in his thirteen division two matches in charge and his successor Jimmy Hogan had now delivered four wins, five draws and four defeats in his thirteen game spell. Meanwhile, despite having hit twelve goals already this season, forward Ronnie Dix made the last of his 103 Villa appearances during which time he scored 30 goals before moving on to Derby County in February 1937.
