MIDDLESBROUGH went down 4-2 to Coventry City in a dramatic game at the Riverside.
Here's how the players rated:
6 Brynn: Fumble for the corner that led to Coventry’s second goal. But brilliant save to deny Simms early in second half and desperately unlucky for third goal.
7 Brittain: Got up and down the right flank and linked up well with Whittaker.
6 Browne: Didn’t look comfortable in back three in first half and distribution poor when Boro were up against it. Improved when he moved forward into midfield.
6 Ayling: Beaten too easily in build-up to Coventry opener. Recovered and solid for most part, but was part of defence that conceded four goals.
6 Jones: Calming influence after Coventry’s early quickfire double. Kitching got wrong side of him for third goal but Coventry man
