Coventry City 10th in Division Two | Mansfield Town 7th in Division Three

City reach the last 16 for the first time, in a game riddled with errors. It’s revenge over the Stags for the double defeat last season, but they need luck to overcome a Wagstaff-inspired team. Gould scores on his home debut and Hudson looks back to his best. Gill’s mistake lets in Rees.
