Port Vale 9th | Coventry City 13th (24)

City squander the lead again to Freddie Steele’s unimpressive Vale team. John Sillett slices a low cross past Meeson and the keeper bundles Edwards over after Bruck’s error. Ex-England man Colin Grainger slots home the penalty. City and Vale look far from promotion candidates.
