Birmingham City 12th | Coventry City 16th (22)
The severe winter means City have 17 games to play in just over two months. Jim Holton, a £40,000 signing from Sunderland, is not fit, but Wallace’s eye has healed. A pathetic Coventry display against poor opponents, for whom Francis shines like a jewel. Powell’s goal is a gem.
