Sheffield Wednesday 4th | Coventry City 22nd (22)
Building works on the new stand mean City start the season a week late. Gibson is dropped and Curtis up front doesn’t work but the scoreline is a bit harsh on a reasonable City performance. Two set pieces are Coventry’s downfall, Fantham scoring with a low ground shot and a tap in.
