Coventry City 20th in Division One | Walsall 11th in Division Three

Gould locks the players in the dressing room for 40 minutes after this embarrassing defeat. City are outfought and outclassed by the Saddlers. New £300,000 signing Cyrille Regis watches as the Sky Blues’ 4-2-4 is exposed as naive. The fences are back up after incidents at Leicester.
