Season game #27 | Division Two game #24
Highfield Road game # | Jimmy Hill game #
Coventry City 2nd | Portsmouth 12th (22)

Pompey arrive with the best away record in the division, depart humbled and lucky to have got off with five. 17 goals in four home games have lit up City’s season. Tudor, Machin and Key score headers, Gould profits from Milkins’ bad kick, and Mitten’s cool flick tops a great display.
