Coventry City 1st | Watford 12th (24)

Anti-climax after the Shrewsbury game. City threaten to notch another big score but Machin’s serious knee injury just after the break upsets the flow. The Hornets revive and almost win it at the death, missing three golden chances. City look fragile at the back, with Brian Hill missed.
