Didn't think we could possibly look any worse than we did against Cardiff which was the worst I've seen us play in years, but we've actually surpassed the shiteness of that game with consummate ease.

Roos 5 - generally fine but some uncertain moments with ball at his feet. Beaten through his legs for their goal

Byrne 4 - poor. Clearly the pass to set up their goal has cost us the match but noticed a lack of urgency at other times particularly with failing to get the ball into the box

Wisdom 6 - OK but struggled with Biamou & couple of silly free kicks in dangerous areas. Also unwillingness to do anything with the ball other than generic sideways passing

Clarke 7 - good I thought. Always acting as last man to mop up defensive danger & got involved in play in last 20 mins by stepping up & moving into space

Buchanan 5 - disappointing again. Going forward he offered very little with some inexplicable dithering on crossing the ball from wide & defensively struggled with Dabo. Has gone back to looking quite weak/indecisive after a period where he looked dominant

Roberts 6 - good first half where he made a few runs down the right & won us a succession of free kicks down that side. Unfortunately he then proceeded to take them & often overhit them (should have been Byrne hitting outswingers really). Was fairly anonymous second half. Still think he's a number 10 not a winger

Shinnie 4 - contributed very little to the game. As they scored so early, his role in the side as defensive screen & winner of second balls was negated as we saw more of the ball. Consequently he just slowed down the play, handled the ball like a hot potato, lost it plenty of times with poor passes/decisions & was generally ineffectual until Rooney hooked him on 70 mins

Bird 7 MOM - the only player (other than Roberts first half & Louie Watson as sub) with any composure or class on the ball. Good range of passing long & short and between the lines. Lots of defensive work that probably overshadowed Shinnie in that respect also

Knight 5 - don't ever want to see Knight play LW again, he offers nothing out there. Better when he came more central second half but still struggled to make an impact on the game

Waghorn 4 - struggled to make an impact playing as a 10/deeper CF. Ideally you want someone with a smidge of creativity, composure & a quality touch playing that role - that's not Waggy's game. Struggling to remember anything he did from an attacking POV apart from unintentionally dummy the ball for Clarke's chance first half.

CKR 5 - tough day for Kazim against a batch of very good CBs for Coventry. Got little joy in the air from their back line but in fairness the delivery to him was generally straight, slow & misdirected.
