Crystal Palace 22nd | Coventry City 13th (22)

Palace, with one win in 15 games, look doomed. Ron Noades is their new chairman and Dario Gradi the fourth manager of the season, but they are a poor side and are watched by their lowest ever Div 1 crowd. An important psychological win for City after the disappointing cup defeats.
