00:03and here at Coventry it's a big crowd as we would expect to see a team which everyone expects will
00:10still be in the first division Coventry City and they're just a section of their huge following of
00:17fans cheering them on today when they're on a cup record or rather a league record of 16
00:23league games without a defeat if they manage to escape defeat today now the Coventry City team
00:30playing in their all-sky blue strip have Glacier in goal number one a young England player they have
00:38Gibson scheming at number 10 there's Barry Lowe signing from Bury playing his first home league
00:45game for Coventry City and Bury is the neighboring town to Bolton and Bolton Wonders who were in the
00:52promotion race early in the season and now slipped back but they have a former England player in
00:57Hopkinson another one in Hill number 11 and a new man in number nine Bob Hatton who there he is
01:03signed
01:03on Thursday from Wolverhampton Wonders Court 30,000 pounds but this big crowd here at Coventry determined
01:12coming to cheer the sky blows on to this new record 16 new games without defeat
01:18and away go Coventry City
01:23a game which is fine but rather blustery
01:35and away comes David Hatton who's no relation to the number nine of Bolton Bob Hatton
01:46and there's Bob Hatton in action straightaway trying to get him to lead promising enough start by this new man
01:56Bob Hatton
02:01five minutes gone no score
02:04cool cool back to Reese
02:07Machen screaming for it in the middle
02:09it's gone to Gibson
02:12there's Machen a wonderful chance
02:15and that's the sort of save that made Eddie Hopkins in England's lowkeeper
02:19there's Eddie Machen
02:24Eddie Machen the former Bolton player and Eddie Hopkinson
02:27still a great goalkeeper
02:31Bolton forward line a very small one
02:34those high balls are not much used to go
02:37small except that is for the new man Bob Hatton
02:43oh what a lucky save by
02:46Hopkinson and once again it's Machen the man who made the final break
02:54Hopkinson
02:55still in top form as a goalkeeper
03:00luck perhaps with him on that occasion but all goalkeepers need luck
03:05Machen with the corner for Coventry
03:16and should be no
03:18Rhys
03:19what a display of goalkeeping by Hopkinson
03:26five minutes from halftime no score
03:33so far Bob Hatton not got a ball in the air against Curtis
03:36then very few players do
03:40there goes Rhys
03:41there goes Rhys
03:50gold yes
03:51what a great goal
03:56and the real maker of it
03:59Ronnie Rhys
04:03and what a fantastic run this was
04:05there's Bromley beaten by Rhys
04:07in goes Rimmer but Rimmer's not quick enough
04:09Rhys beating him this time purely for speed
04:12Rhys number 11 Rimmer number 4
04:14now Hatton
04:15Dave Hatton's the next man to come in
04:17and whoops he goes the wrong way
04:18a tremendous body swerve by Rhys
04:21so that's three Bolton defenders out of the way
04:23and Bolton are in trouble now
04:25and now then look
04:26there are three Coventry men there
04:28without anybody marking them
04:29including the goal scorer Gould
04:31as the ball comes over
04:32Gould has all the time in the world
04:34to put his team one up
04:37and the crowd feel the ice is broken now
04:40the Bolton defenders arguing
04:43as to why
04:44there's Gould the scorer Bobby Gould
04:46the Bolton defenders arguing
04:48why didn't somebody stop Rhys
04:57so four minutes from half-time
04:59Coventry City are 1-0 in the lead
05:03Bromley now
05:23Hatton
05:24Lennat
05:33Bolton's job now
05:34they've got to come out and attack
05:44and the whistle goes for half-time
05:46with Coventry City leading by 1-0
05:50and the scorer Bobby Gould number 9
05:54indeed
05:57Coventry look as if they're heading
05:59for their 16th league game
06:00without defeat
06:04now Rhys
06:07Rhys across to Farmer
06:09the second half
06:10the Caninas the first half ended
06:14corner
06:20Gibson going to take this corner
06:29Gibson takes the corner for Coventry
06:35and
06:37Hopkinson was fouled
06:57one two moves
07:00and Ronnie Rys unlucky enough to be in the goalscorer's list
07:06Oh, a bad back pass. I don't think that Bob Hatton was expecting it.
07:27Half asleep must have been.
07:34Every Belgium player back. Ten players, and now they're calling Bob Hatton back.
07:47Well, I don't know that it's any part of Kearns' job to do the pacing out.
07:52All of Machen's.
07:55Farmer or Clements to take it. Farmer.
07:58We hit the bar.
08:02What was a clever one.
08:06And not only did it hit the bar, but it jammed Hopkinson's hand between the ball and the bar.
08:11But it's Bromley now for Bolton.
08:28Hill.
08:31It's Bolton build-up, it's so slow.
08:35And now it's the Coventry great major to Gould.
08:39Gould number nine.
08:45Back to Gibson.
08:48Here comes Rhys.
08:50Here comes Rhys.
08:55Nice.
08:57There's he.
09:03There's Hill.
09:04But Bolton, of course, when they get to position, they're going to have to break much quicker than this.
09:08They didn't come through all the time in the world to get back.
09:12Lee had all that.
09:15And the referee spotted him.
09:22Lee was spotted by the linesman, just picking that ball down with his hand.
09:29By Hill.
09:31Bit of overconfidence there, the Coventry defence.
09:37And Machen back with his defence.
09:41Now Bromley for Bolton.
09:48And every man jacked at the Coventry team except Gould.
09:52Back in defence now.
09:56Hill.
09:57Oh, Phillips, it's a goal!
09:59An equaliser!
10:06Phillips has scored.
10:09Two minutes left.
10:15And...
10:17And...
10:18Well, a bad miss.
10:20Staked by the Coventry defence.
10:21But there's Young.
10:22Phillips the scorer.
10:28Dr. Carrad and they could will...
10:30get a wee bit too desperate.
10:33One minute left.
10:35And here comes Coventry.
10:37Farmer.
10:39Reece.
10:43Bomber.
10:45And it's Dave Hatton there.
10:51Dave Hatton, number two.
11:03Goal kick.
11:15And that wasn't out of the penalty area so the
11:19goal kick has to be taken again.
11:24many people seem to forget the ball is not out of play from the goal kick
11:27until the ball goes out of the penalty area
11:3145 minutes or eight now the time and it on for injuries
11:34the two linesman the signal at five minutes
11:41that looked at my hands with the referee saying play on
11:51leave for Bolton and the whistle goes to the end of the match
11:58electricity have dropped a point and Phillips
12:03two minutes from the end there's Phillips on the right the man that snatched that
12:07unexpected point for Bolton Wanderers
