'No excuses' - but is Villa's stadium rebuild affecting team?

The Aston Villa head coach was talking about his team's form amid Villa Park's rebuild. He had already turned the air blue when describing their defeat to Nottingham Forest last month. It was a rare moment of candour from the Spaniard with Villa yet to win at home this season after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Brentford. The North Stand is a shell and currently closed for building work as the club increases the stadium's capacity to over 50,000.
