McNair: 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

Mowatt: It was hard going against an excellent Coventry side in first half. Persisted. Involved in leveller. 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

Archer: Pretty anonymous, but then burst onto the scene just before the break as all good goal-scorers do. 6
