City Down A Place

Last updated : 19 April 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City are down to fifteenth after their 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

City still have 53 points and are seven points clear of third from bottom Norwich City who play local rivals Ipswich Town tomorrow lunchtime. Norwich currently have a one goal better goal difference than the Sky Blues.

Defeat for Norwich tomorrow will see City mathematically safe with any other result meaning that they will need a result from Tuesday night's game at home to Barnsley or Saturday's home game against Watford or at Ipswich Town on Sunday May 3rd.

Molineux is not a ground, we shall be visiting next season unless it is for a cup tie as Wolves were promoted this afternoon thanks to Sylvan Ebanks-Blake getting his 25th goal of the season to give Wolves a 1-0 win against QPR.
