Coventry City 12th | Middlesbrough 8th (22)

Workmanlike Boro rarely trouble City after the early goal, but despite lots of chances the Sky Blues have to rely on Blair’s header after Platt’s punch out and Gillespie’s first ever goal; a great shot after a one-two with Gooding. The new undersoil heating allows the game to go ahead.
