Review
We were 4-0 down after 34 minutes before Nigel Clough scored a hatrick in just 8 minutes BEFORE half-time to make it 4-3 at the break. Garry Parker equalised early in the second half before Coventry took the lead again at 5-4.

Stats:
This was the third consecutive season we played Coventry in the League Cup; we had knocked them out twice in the last two season on our way to those two victories.
