Coventry City 2nd | Oldham Athletic 10th (24)

Kirby’s three headers on his home debut end the 11-game winless run but it’s not very convincing. Hudson, Hale and Meeson are dropped and new left-back Hill crosses for the first two goals, with Humphries crossing for the last two. Oldham have slumped since January and offer little.
