Hide AdMcNair: Another who looked a touch wary against Gyokeres early on. Some decent last-ditch stuff amid the difficulties. 6
Lenihan: One of the unsung heroes of Boro’s season. Looked the most convincing home defender. 7
Giles: Got a bit of stick from Coventry supporters. Better as game progressed. 6
Hackney: Mixed bag. One or two errors in possession and missed the calming presence of Howson alongside him. But some moments of neatness too. 6

Jones: Disappointing at Rotherham and had one of those days again. 5
Akpom: Quiet by his standards and was eclipsed by rival Gyokeres. 6
McGree: Involved in the leveller and one of Boro’s better players. 7
