Aston Villa’s season has so far not gone to plan but the club have made a significant change during the international break to provide a boost.
After a run of just one victory in ten matches across all competitions, Villa axed Steve Bruce prior to the 2-1 defeat to Millwall and confirmed the appointment of Dean Smith as his replacement last week, snatching the boyhood Villa fan from Brentford.
Smith arrives after three impressive seasons with the Bees but needs to provide an immediate improvement to Villa if he is to rekindle their push for promotion, with the club currently sat 15th in the table.
After his appointment was confirmed last week, we asked Villa fans whether they believe their side will earn promotion under Smith and the results were largely one-sided.
A majority of 76% stated they were confident of winning promotion to the Premier League under Smith this season, with just 24% disagreeing and believing another campaign will be spent in the Championship in the 2019-20 season.
