There was a time this season when the Aston Villa football club was sitting near the top of the 2014 2015 Premier League standings table. Those were the early weeks of competitive play, when wins against Stoke City, Hull City, and Liverpool marked the Lions as a squad worth watching. From the kids Aston Villa kit to adult home shirt items, Soccer Box was suddenly selling plentiful Claret and Blue gear. Quite simply, fans for the team seemed to be coming out of the woodwork, and for good reason. Especially the youth fans, who have that perpetual optimism.
Since those early weeks in the second, third, and fourth place positions, though, the tides have turned against the club. In fact, the club is now approaching the three-month anniversary of its win against Liverpool. For a few weeks, the drought of victories has dropped the Lions into 16th place-still outside of relegation range, but certainly too close for comfort.
Luckily, a win on Tuesday against Crystal Palace means that the club will avoid the dreaded three-month win drought. It's also brought the team back up to 12th place, but they will need a few more victories to get back into a comfortable position. Show your support for the squad by stopping by Soccer Box today and picking up some new gear. We have the Aston Villa youth home shirt 2014 2015, a claret and blue kit perfect for the kids. We also have away kit options available in both youth and adult sizes.
The Last Victory
The last time the Lions won a game-prior to the Crystal Palace fixture, that is-they were at the peak of their powers and their potential. It was week four of 2014 2015 Premier League play, and they had won two soccer matches and drawn the other. They weren't favored to beat Liverpool, though, since the Reds had just recently been football league runners-up.
However, as the fans turned up wearing the kids Aston Villa kit and adult away shirt, Aston Villa took the lead. A goal at the nine-minute mark from veteran football striker Gabriel Agbonlahor gave his team the advantage in the match, and they never gave it up. The football fixture ultimately ended 1-0 in favor of the away team, and just like that, it looked like Aston Villa was on the way toward a banner season.
Evidently, though, it was all smoke and mirrors.
The Losing Streak
That fixture was played on September 13th. Since then, fans in the Aston Villa youth home shirt 2014 2015 have watched their team repeatedly lose or draw matches. Granted, they faced four of the toughest teams in the Premier League-Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Everton-back to back.
However, it appears that the harsh shutout losses Aston Villa suffered against each of those clubs shattered the squad's confidence. For instance, at the end of October, youth fans in the kids Aston Villa kit watch as the Lions were crushed 0-2 by Queens Park Rangers-a football club that hadn't beaten them since a 2008 League Cup match.
A 1-2 home loss against Tottenham Hotspur was less surprising (the Spurs have now beaten Aston Villa in six consecutive fixtures), but no less biting. And a recent trio of draws-against West Ham United, Southampton, and Burnley-have only slightly improved spirits in the Aston Villa camp.
A Necessary Win
Needless to say, fans of the Lions-from youth to adulthood-have been demoralized by the performance of their team. Not only was the squad failing to win soccer games, but they were also performing poorly after what was truly a monumentally promising start to the 2014 2015 season.
On December 13th, it would have been three months since the club's last win against Liverpool. Luckily, the Lions did what was necessary to avoid that fate in a Tuesday away match with Crystal Palace. Just like the match against Liverpool, this game was decided by a single goal-this one by Aston Villa striker, Christian Benteke.
Could this be the start of another winning streak for the Claret and Blue's? It's possible, given the fact that upcoming home and away matches will be played against less highly ranked teams like Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion. Pick up an Aston Villa youth home shirt 2014 2015 for your kids (or a Claret and Blue home kit for yourself) to cheer for the club in those two games.
You can find all home and away variations of the Villa shirt at Soccer Box! Whether you are looking for a kids Aston Villa kit or a 2014 2015 adult home shirt, we've got it in stock.
