Sunderland 22nd | Coventry City 11th (22)

Sunderland’s new boss Jimmy Adamson is unable to stop the dreadful run; now eight defeats in a row with only one goal. City’s first ever win at Roker is gained on an icy pitch with a late Murphy goal. Blyth plays a blinder as Sunderland turn up the heat with massive vocal support.
