Nottingham Forest 2nd | Coventry City 8th (22)
Forest’s biggest crowd of the season sees their eighth win in ten, thanks to two late goals and a harsh penalty. City are twice ahead in an excellent game, although they fade in the last 20 minutes. Wallace is fouled by Gillespie for the spot-kick but fails to get his customary goal.
