CLOUGH’S BOYS ARE SO EFFICIENT

BURTON look the real promotion deal – not flashy or fussy but highly effective.

Coventry, on the other hand, have flair aplenty but were undone by their failure to take their chances and by two defensive errors. Coventry probably had the best of the chances in the first half but failed to make them count.

The visitors started the second half the strongest and once they had gone ahead thanks to some calamitous defending from young Aaron Phillips, there really only looked to be one winner.

It will concern Tony Mowbray that his side’s heads clearly dropped and they failed to ever rediscover their earlier good form.

Coventry will have make sure they do not suffer a second half of the season slump.
