Coventry City 9th | Ipswich Town 17th (22)

The smallest home crowd since 1966 sees a deserved win. Brian Alderson and Brian Joicey are recalled and the latter wins it with a neat header from Martin’s cross. Eric McManus, in for the injured Glazier, has little to do. Wilf Smith plays his first game in No 2 shirt and looks classy.
