Aston Villa fans on Twitter have been reacting to a recently emerged image of the official Villa team squad photo from the 2015/16 season.
This comes after Villa news Twitter account @AVFC_News shared a post on their official page that contained the image of former Villa boss Tim Sherwood and his squad in their team photo together.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans who were quick to share their thoughts on that team during that period.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans responding to the post:

You would have looked at this squad at the start of the seas son and think it’s got potential. That potential was finishing rock bottom with a clown in charge

Awful squad

Is the 2015/16 season Villa's worst season of the PL era?
Yes
No
The 2015/16 season saw Villa finish rock bottom of the Premier League with just 17 points, having won three, drawn eight and lost 27 league matches (per Transfermarkt). Now that this image of the team photo from that season has resurfaced on Twitter once again, this paved the way for lots of Villa fans to share their thoughts on that dreaded season.
Shocking ??

Remember thinking should have enough quality to be safe… but looking at gabby, he’s like a petulant child…”but I’m too cool to sit up straight, you can’t make me” and yeah, some awful hairdos there,…. Richardson … dear oh dear

What do we think?
Given how the 2015/16 season went for Villa in the Premier League, it’s not a surprise to see so many fans slating the team and management that led them to the Championship.
