Oldham Athletic 14th | Coventry City 10th (22)

Sansom is out till Xmas and Smith joins the lengthy injury list after 25 minutes. Newly promoted Oldham haven’t played in the top flight since 1923 and have signed Kilcline for £400,000. City’s comeback starts too late, but Robson almost snatches a late equaliser after Furlong’s goal.
