Aston Villa are back agam at the foot of the League with Brent- ford as their companions in dis- tress. Brentford have spent much money also recently, on new play- ers, but there is some excuse for their fall at Grlinsby, as gency defenders had to be pressed into service. In drawing attention to the heavy defeats of Aston Villa and Brentford there is no intention to suggest that the enterprise of the officials of these clubs will not meet with the desired reward in que course, but the rebuilding of A football side is an intricate process, with many pitfalls.
