Coventry City 0-0 Oldham Athletic

  • Published

Winless Coventry City slipped to the bottom of League One after being held to another goalless draw by Oldham Athletic.

The hosts had the better of the first half but, once again, struggled to turn that dominance into goals.

Jodi Jones had a couple of efforts miss the target, while Marvin Sordell finished the best move of the game with a scuffed shot that drifted wide.

After Oldham midfielder Paul Green's low-range strike was deflected wide 10 minutes before the break, he then fired over the bar from the resulting corner.

The best opportunity fell to Coventry's Marcus Tudgay on the stroke of half-time - but he headed Lewis Page's inch-perfect cross wide of the target.

Impressive Sky Blues full-back Jamie Sterry was carried off on a stretcher at the start of the second half after taking a horrible blow to the head.

That cleared the way for Oldham to have their best spell as Ollie Banks and Green both fired over, while striker Lee Erwin, who was quiet in the first half, hit the bar from the edge of the box.

Banks had two efforts saved by Reice Charles-Cook as the visitors sensed they could claim a late victory but, despite finishing the stronger, Coventry go bottom, thanks to Rochdale's 2-1 home win over Fleetwood.
