Aston Villa recorded a 2-2 draw at home to Hull City in the Championship on Saturday.
Ian Taylor has honestly stated on Twitter that Aston Villa ‘need some clean sheets’ following their 2-2 draw at home to Hull City on Saturday.
Dean Smith’s side, who have not kept the ball out of the back of the net since late December, have conceded 45 goals during this campaign.
At the weekend, they had to come from 2-0 down to rescue a point against Nigel Adkin’s side as they fell further behind the Championship’s top-six.
Holte End favourite Taylor offered his thoughts on his personal Twitter account about Villa’s recent struggles as they are yet to pick up three points in 2019.
One of the main reasons behind Villa’s struggles to keep a clean sheet has been their lack of stability at the back and lack of form of senior players.
Captain James Chester has had five different centre-back partners this season, while the club have deployed five different goalkeepers in between the sticks in all competitions.
Tommy Elphick, who was on loan at Hull City before being recalled back this month, partnered Chester at the heart of the club’s defence against his former club.
Villa’s other defensive options are Kortney Hause, who joined on-loan from Wolves and Manchester United loanee Axel Tuanzebe, who is currently on the sidelines with an injury.
Smith’s side are seven points behind sixth-placed Derby County in the table as they will welcome bottom-of-the-table Ipswich Town to Villa Park at the weekend.
