Birmingham City 21st | Coventry City 17th (22)

Jim Melrose has joined from Leicester, with Tom English going in exchange. With two other debutants, City look like strangers and a poor Blues side gain their first win of the season. Keith Thompson, in for his injured brother, has a useful game. Derek Hall will never be seen again.
