# Villa player ratings: QPR (A)

Dean Smith tasted his second defeat as Aston Villa manager on Friday evening as his side were beaten 1-0 by Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.

Villa could have gotten something out of the game with the chances that they had, but yet another defensive error cost them dearly. This time, it was James Chester who was at fault as he failed to deal with a simple long ball over the top.

A number of fans have stated that Villa have one of worst defences in the league, and on present form, even the most die-hard Villa fans would find it difficult to disagree with them.

Chester is a shadow of the player he was last year when playing alongside John Terry, Neil Taylor would struggle to get into a League One team (we’re being generous here), and Hutton is starting to look his age. Tuanzebe is the only one who deserves any type of credit at the moment.

Smith will need to sort it out quickly as Villa have a pretty tricky winter fixture list fast approaching.

Anyway, here are our player ratings for tonight’s match:
