Newcastle's poor start to the season continued with the loss at Villa Park on Saturday, October 17th, decided by a goal from former transfer target Johan Manzambi.
Jaissle’s side have now dropped to 11th in the table, with fans booing them off at half-time and again at full-time after another frustrating afternoon.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Jaissle insisted his side deserved more from the game, while also conceding that improvements are needed.
“It was in fact a game where we were dominating, overseeing a team giving a response; we made many situations where you saw we were about to win that game until we conceded the goal,” he said.
“We need to be honest - we were shaking a bit until half-time, but we showed a good response again. Second 45 minutes, really aggressive from our lads.
“We won the duels; unfortunately, we were not smart enough in the final decision-making in the opposition box, so that is something we need to work on.
“We need to threaten the opposition much more when we have the ball in the final third. We had the occasions, but in the end, the lucky punch was missing.”
