Gary McAllister missed penalty (hit the post), 56 minutes.
Youssef Safri sent off for two bookings, 76 minutes.
With the opening-day game at Watford called off because of Jimmy Davis’ death, City kick off a week late. McAllister’s first ever Coventry penalty miss after Suffo is fouled by Emblen. Safri is off after two yellows, the second for diving. A good performance with Paul Merson quiet.
