Coventry City 14th | Nottingham Forest 8th (22)

Match of the Day viewers see Forest end a run of six away defeats with an easy win in a low-entertainment game. The penalty, given for a foul by Holton on Birtles, looks harsh but City’s heads drop after it. The other goals are gifts for Robertson and Bowles. Ray Gooding is suspended.
