Villans and heroes (40)
- 8 Feb 12, 01:52 PM
It's turning into a difficult season for Aston Villa's players, management, chairman and supporters.
The Villans have taken just 28 points from 24 games this season and sit 13th in the Premier League table.
They have not won at home since early November and attendances at Villa Park are down around 10 per cent on last season.
Those same fans who were horrified when chairman Randy Lerner appointed Alex McLeish - the former manager of bitter rivals Birmingham City - have been online this week whipping up support for a planned protest against the Scotsman before their game against Manchester City on Sunday.
