With one trophy planted on the sideboard City now set their collective sights on the Cup-Winners Cup, as their dismal League record showed! A wearying stint of four games in 8 days began with a trip to Gelsenkirchen to face Schalke 04 in the European semi-final, and while they returned with a 0-1 deficit there was abundant confidence that they would make short work of the West German team in the return fixture. Despite losing on the night, the Blues were superb. They reached a peak in their football not seen for some time. Special mention must be made of Derek Jeffries, drafted into defence although inexperienced, who played with an assurance and skill far beyond his years. The goalkeepers, Corrigan and Nigbur, both won acclaim for their displays. So why the odd scoreline? Lee might have had a hat-trick with more luck; Booth and Bell came within a whisker of scoring; Young brought the best out of Nigbur. Libuda, who scored a great individual goal after 77 minutes, was repeatedly foiled by Big Joe. and pohlschmidt should have scored from 6 Yards but failed.
