Coventry City 20th | Southampton 15th (22)

A cold wintry day. City create endless chances and hit the woodwork four times. Ron Davies sets up Paine after a slick move. Machin drives in the equaliser from 18 yards, but it is now eleven games without a win. Lowest gate for two years. Gerry Baker is on World Cup duty for USA.
