Highfield Road # | George Curtis & John Sillett game #
Coventry City 8th | Charlton Athletic 20th (22)

Long-serving manager Lennie Lawrence is struggling to keep the Robins up. Charlton have won once in 17 games. This is a poor game where City struggled. Ex-City man Melrose scores after sloppy errors. Charlton think Robert Lee’s shot off the underside of the bar crossed the line.
