Coventry City 8th | Southend United 10th (24)

Lightening and McCann have gone and Laverick is dropped. Dave Meeson’s debut is a nightmare as City throw away a 3-1 lead. Goy keeps the Shrimpers in the game as City have 16 first-half shots. With better service Bly finally comes good but the woeful defending costs City dear.
