Will be hugely disappointed with the manner of Coventry’s second goal, which proved to be a key turning point in the game.

Poor pass led to Coventry’s fourth and he was earlier credited with an own goal, but otherwise defended okay.

Afternoon only lasted 10 minutes after he was forced off through concussion. Now a doubt for the Preston game.

Overhit far too many clipped passes into space, conceding possession to a very good Coventry side.

Much more reserved than he was in midweek in his wing-back role. Stuck to his task though even when the chips were down.
