Aston Villa CEO Paul Faulkner believes that it is time everyone pulls together as a unit to end the season on a high after a string of disappointing results.
Saturday's 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park meant that the Claret and Blues have now lost four in a row and are currently placed 14th, just four points ahead of relegation-battlers Fulham.

"Now more than ever it's time for us all to pull together – fans, players, the manager, everyone at the club", Faulkner told his club's official site.
