Highfield Road # | Gordon Strachan game #
Coventry City 18th in the Premier League | Gillingham 18th in Division Two
Gordon Strachan's first game as manager.
Strachan’s first game in charge brings an embarrassing cup exit. Gillingham are ordinary but deserve their win. City make no impact in attack and look suspect at the back. This is Gillingham’s first ever win over a top division side. Dave Busst is forced to retire after 13 leg operations.
