Watford 9th | Coventry City 10th (24)

A flurry of snow and a cold night fails to deter City, who inflict the Hornets’ fifth straight defeat. Lightening keeps City in the game until Bob Allen’s delicious pass finds Dwight, who makes no mistake with his only chance of the game. 17-year old Bruck impresses in his second start.
