Southampton 8th | Coventry City 11th (22)

An improved display compared to Blackpool. Saints have lost only once at home. Three headers win the game: McGrath headed on for Brian O’Neill, Jenkins’ long cross found Channon, Ron Davies beat Blockley in the air just once. O’Rourke had City’s best effort, cleared by Kirkup.
