Coventry City 10th | Charlton Athletic 20th (22)

Even with Sillett hobbling on the wing, City are too good for a poor Charlton, who badly miss Mike Bailey. The Addicks are let off the hook but succumb to a Hale-created goal and Clements’ swivel and finish from a corner. Flu-victim Keyworth struggles as Hale blows hot and cold.
