Coventry City 3rd | Middlesbrough 20th (22)

City are left with a slim hope of promotion but brave Boro look set to go down. The injured Rees and Gould are missed, but with only the classy Ian Gibson showing for the visitors, City deserve the win. Roberts heads in before Ray Pointer pounces. Curtis’ headers deserve a goal.
