Coventry City 4th | Port Vale 6th (24)

The final home game is a big let-down and a third home loss makes promotion look impossible. Vale have now beaten all the top four sides in recent weeks. City miss an incredible five chances in fifteen first-half minutes. After Richards’ soft goal, uninspiring City fail to lift their game.
