Chance analysis

A winless run, regardless of how short, was enough for the club to conclude that a change in the dugout was necessary rather than waiting for the situation to self-correct. The immediate task for Villa's hierarchy will be identifying a successor capable of arresting the slide quickly, as the WSL table rarely offers much margin for hesitation.
