With another three points gained on Saturday, things are looking up for Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa in the English Championship.

The 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers means the Villans have now won their last four fixtures in the division, propelling them up to seventh place in the table, just shy of the play-off positions.

However there was a major negative coming out of Saturday’s match and that was the red card shown to left-back Neil Taylor in the dying moments of the game. He was judged to have gone in heavy on Adam Le Fondre and given his marching orders.

While Bruce has confirmed they will appeal the decision, there’s every chance that will be rejected and if that’s the case, Villa will lose the defender for the entirety of October to a three-match ban.

With little cover available in the position, the situation has left supporters very worried indeed.
