Barnsley 16th | Coventry City 9th (24)

On a Friday night under the Oakwell floodlights the Tykes belie their lowly status and deserve the win. Oliver’s goal is untidy but Barr’s header from Bly’s cross gives City hope. Then Bruck fails to control a long ball and Kerr nets. Star man Dave Meeson keeps the score down.
