Villa lose for the 27 time in 38 Premier League games in 2015-16.

Eric Black loses his 6th game in 7 as caretaker manager.

Villa make it 28 in 44games this season. 

Villa record their lowest ever total of League points - regardless of the size of the division - at 17. 

Unsurprisingly the clear out of the rot gathers pace as, all things considered, possibly the worst signing in Villa’s history. 

Joleon Lescott, 33, makes his 31st and final appearance before being released by the club in August 2016. Lescott lost twenty two of his thirty Premier League games, winning just twice to leave with a pitiful record, on and off the pitch, of W3 D6 L22, 1 Goal and 2 Bookings.

Midfielder Idrissa Gueye, 26, loses his 25th game in a Villa shirt on his 38th and final appearance (37 Starts) 26 before moving on to Everton in August 2016 for a fee of £7,650,000. Villa had paid £8,100,000 to LOSC Lille for Gueye’s services just a year earlier and he left with a record of W4 D9 L25, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 10 Bookings.

Midfielder Carlos Sánchez makes his 56th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (42 Starts) aged 30 before moving on to ACF Fiorentina in July 2017 for a fee of £2,700,000 - half the fee Villa paid to Elche CF for Sánchez to join in August 2014. Sánchez left with a record over his two seasons with Villa of W14 D14 L28, 1 Goal, 1 Assist, 10 Bookings and 1 Red Card.

Centre back Kevin Toner makes his 4th and final appearance for Villa (3 Starts) aged 19 before moving on to St. Patricks Athletic in January 2018. Toner made his debut in April 2016 after joining from Home Farm in July 2012 and left with a record of W0 D1 L3 and 1 Assist.

Scott Sinclair loses his 30th game in a Villa shirt on his 30th start on this his 45th and final appearance for the club. Sinclair was inexplicably signed on a permanent deal following an underwhelming loan spell and duly delivered on expectation with a record of W8 D7 L30 and 9 Goals with only 4 coming in League football in 36 appearances.

Jordan Ayew makes his 30th start in a Villa shirt (36 Appearances) to make it W5 D8 L23, 7 Goals, 7 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Mark Bunn concedes his 20th goal in a Villa shirt on his 12th appearance to make it W3 D4 L5, 22 Goals Conceded, 4 Clean Sheets and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

Micah Richards loses for the 20th time in a Villa shirt on just his 28th appearance (27 Starts) to make it W4 D4 L20, 2 Goals, 1 Assist and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career. Richards' wins had come against newly promoted Bournemouth and lower League clubs Birmingham and Wycombe and fellow relegation candidates Norwich.
