Port Vale 5th | Coventry City 16th (24)

Another woeful away performance ends in defeat. At 0-0 Peter Hill and Imlach spurn good chances and later Lightening atones for fluffing the second goal with two great close-range saves. Mick Kearns’ return gives the defence a tighter look, but unimpressive Vale are off-colour too.
