ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 October 2015
Villa lose for the sixth successive Premier League game and for the seventeenth time in twenty eight matches under Tim Sherwood.
As a result, Villa dropped to bottom of the Premier League table, four points adrift of safety with ten games played.
Villa have now failed to win any of their 5 home Premier League games this season under Tim Sherwood.
Villa's latest defeat comes against Swansea City - side previously without an away win in 2015-16.
After twenty eight games, Sherwood’s reign is over, and Villa, who already looked dead certs for relegation faced a totally unnecessary mid season upheaval that could have been avoided had the club used the summer to appoint a manager capable of turning Villa around.
Sherwood, with huge amounts of goodwill, had already presided over nine defeats in sixteen as interim boss and any objective analysis of his 2014-15 campaign would have finished it there with a huge debt of gratitude at a seemingly inevitable relegation avoided.
Villa under Lerner however are nothing if not lazy and would always take the easy way out regardless of the impact on the club. The folly of such an approach is laid bare yet again.
Jordan Ayew scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 8th appearance (5 Starts) to make it W3 D0 L5, 1 Goal and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Carles Gil suffers his 10th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 14th appearance (9 Starts) to make it W3 D1 L10, 2 Goals, 1 Assist and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Brad Guzan concedes his 225th goal on his 150th appearance in a Villa shirt (148 Starts) to make it W46 D32 L72, 1 Assist, 226 Goals Conceded, 34 Clean Sheets, 1.57 Goals per League Game and 7 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Joleon Lescott loses for the sixth time in six league games in a Villa shirt on his 7th appearance for the club to make it W1 D0 L6 so far in his Villa career.
