ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 31 January 2017
Villa lose for the 4th time in 5 games under Steve Bruce.
Despite the result the signs are there that a good team lurks within but the outstanding footballing side of Villa fan and future Villa boss Dean Smith leaves Steve Bruce’s newly assembled Villa winless in 4 Championship games with 3 defeats.
Although a much changed line up didn’t immediately gel, 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, 26, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from Barnsley for £3,150,000 earlier this month to become the 901st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Midfielder Birkir Bjarnason, 18, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining from FC Basel 1893 for £1,800,000 earlier this month to become the 902nd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Nathan Baker suffers his 50th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 106th appearance (98 Starts) to make it W33 D23 L50, 1 Goal, 13 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
