Well there are ugly wins and ugly wins this was the ugliest of wins but a win it was. Kevin Davis heading home after 21 minutes after Gallagher had fired in an inch perfect cross. North End dominated the first half against a fairly poor looking Coventry side who had offered little in the way of an attacking threat. In truth North End had offered little up front either apart from another Davies headed which Burge saved that was the sum total of the first half.
Only one side in it in the second half and it wasn't North End, the half time team talk must have been interesting as North End dozed through the second half.
Nouble missed from close range and ex North Ender Barton's dipping shot was saved by Johnstone. Everybody in the ground expected a Coventry equaliser but it didn't come although Fleck's 30 yarder hit the bar in the 4th minute of injury time, it would have given the Sky Blues a deserved point but it didn't.
Van Gaal won't be losing sleep on that performance however we are just lulling him into a false sense of security.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
