Adama Traore ruled out for up to 10 weeks

Other players were let off much less lightly with some of Villa’s 2,500 visiting fans turning particularly on their struggling striker Rudy Gestede as he trudged back to the dressing-room.

Villa’s website said Spaniard Traore, signed from Barcelona a year ago, had broken a bone in his foot.

Aston Villa fans were given no respite from their side’s miserable league form as they failed to beat Wycombe Wanderers in their third round FA Cup tie.

Villa are bottom of the Premier League and 11 points from safety having not won in the top flight since the opening day, their latest defeat coming at relegation rivals Sunderland.

Jacobson’s penalty evoked memories of his spot-kick exploits when Bristol Rovers dumped out Roy Hodgson’s Fulham in their run to the FA Cup quarter-finals in 2008.

Paul Lambert, Tim Sherwood and now Remi Garde have all dropped N’Zogbia from first-team duty, and the out-of-favor Frenchman is now reportedly on the verge of a move to AEK Athens.

“They won’t be looking forward to coming to us and they know they will be a real game”.

“We’ve been there and done it. Hopefully the manager will get the help to improve the squad as well”.

“But we need to make sure that we play to our full potential, give it a right good go, play the game how we play and not change anything for them”. But of course the situation in the last weeks has not played in Aston Villa’s favour. We are going to remain concentrated until December, after that I will see’.

“I try to respect everybody as a person because I’m like that but sometimes you have to make a decision that makes people not happy”.

“They were running through brick walls for the club, and I had to bring some of them off because they had nothing left in the tank”.

Rémi Garde’s side are floundering. I am here to solve this problem which the club has had for quite a long time.
