Coventry (1) 4 - Nottm Forest (0) 0
Darren Huckerby scored his second hat-trick in eight days to plunge Forest deeper into trouble. The Sky Blues striker, who was born in Nottingham, was again in top-class form. The defeated sentenced the basement club to their 18th game without a win and on this evidence Ron Atkinson will have a tough job on his hands, if he takes over as manager next week
