Highfield Road # | John Sillett game #
Coventry City 8th | Derby County 13th (20)

The Derby jinx is put to rest and means Sillett has beaten every Division 1 side since he became City boss. It’s a much improved display, with Gallacher’s skill and pace causing problems and Edwards looking classy. Injury-hit Rams are beaten when Wright turns Smith’s cross in.
