Nottingham Forest 2nd | Coventry City 16th (22)

Forest, unbeaten in their first three, steam-roll City’s midfield. English’s goal gives some fleeting hope before McGovern and Robertson, after Jones pulled him down, wrap it up. Hartford plays his third and final game for Clough before being sold on to Everton. Wallace is still injured.
