Coventry ratings from those at the game please. Thanks.
Much of the game felt like a training session. So difficult to give ratings, but here goes:
Krul 6 - Nothing to do
Maenpaa 6 - Nothing to do - not at fault for the goal.
Bruno 7 - A few lapses that would have mattered against better opposition. Great cross for Ulloa.
Goldson 7 - A mixed bag defensively - marked up for the goal
Hunemeier 7 - Decent performance, with some classy cross-field passes in the first half.
Knockaert 7 - trying too hard but involved in all three goasl
Stephens 8 MOFH (man of first half) - One of two players who really showed his class against lower opposition. The forward passes looking for J Lo were an interesting development, hope to see more of that in Prem games
Propper 6 - Average
Kayal 6 - Average
March 6 - Average
Locadia 8 MOM - Not bad for a first game back from injury. Looks like a great signinh
Ulloa 7 - superb header, but not as sharp as he's looked when coming on as a sub.
Baldock 6 - his last first team game as an Albion player? Hopefully will get a run out at Old Trafford.
I must have seen a different game to Weststander - rating Knockaert ahead of March I thought March was close to MOTM. Running at players and some fantastic crosses. 2 for Locadia, 1 for Baldock when he hit the post and another that Ulloa got close to. Love Knockaert but he was pretty poor yesterday. Also thought Ulloa despite his goal looked slow and contribution was lacking. Would start Murray ahead of him if we were to play 2 strikers again.
Was really impressed by Clarke-Harris and to a lesser extent Bayliss for Coventry. Both could be playing at a higher level (admittedly have never seen them in other games).

I've not rated the players from yesterday, are you thinking of another poster?
IMO March in the second half showed the best form he has all season.
Clarke-Harris gave the BFG a torrid time. This lad's coming back from serious injury. I'm sure the recruitment team will keep an eye on him (hopefully).
Nice to watch a match where there was no pressure. Makes a change this season.
Krul 6. Not much to do. Any news on his injury? Presuming that was why he was subbed.
Bruno 7. Looked pretty good for most of the game, but some sloppy stuff towards the end.
Hunemeir 7. Good defending and some great crossfield balls.
Goldson 7. Well taken goal. Some nice runs upfield. But I thought he was too often outjumped by their forwards.
Suttner 9. Excellent.
Stephens 8. Best I have seen from him in a long time. Actually wanted to pass the ball forward. But then you have to consider the ability of the opposition.
Kayal 7. Did OK without standing out.
March 8. Thought he had a good game.
Knockaert 6. Poor. Shooting awful. Held on to the ball too long on a number of occasions. Amazingly the Sunday Times gave him MOM.
Ulloa 7. Great goal. Some good stuff. But overall showed he needs more game time.
Locadia 8. Great goal and an all-round positive display. Looks like a very good acquisition.
Subs:
Maenpaa 7. Not a lot to do, but handled the ball well under pressure.
Propper 7. Not quite up to Stephens' standard, but did well.
Baldock 6. One shot that grazed the bar, but not a lot else.
