Jose Sa - 7

When Wolves were 1-0 down and struggling to contain Coventry, the goalkeeper made several very impressive saves. His kicking still needs work and he is a bit erratic at times, but he kept Wolves in the game.

Nelson Semedo - 6

Semedo impressed going forward in the first half and had good moments throughout the game, mixed with some moments when he switched off.

Max Kilman - 5

Kilman tried desperately to keep his defence in order, but struggled against physical Coventry forwards.

Santi Bueno - 5

Bueno was bullied by Coventry’s strikers and consistently lost the physical battle.

Toti Gomes - 5

Toti was enjoying a slightly better game than his defensive partners, until he allowed Simms to ghost in at the back post for the opening goal.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - 7

While others around him wilted, Ait-Nouri stood tall. He took his goal expertly but setting up Hugo Bueno brilliantly for Wolves’ second.

Tommy Doyle - 6

The midfielder was doing well at spraying the ball around and keeping Wolves ticking, even if he was unable to find the killer pass.

Joao Gomes - 5

Gomes was as hard-working as ever, but failed to deliver any quality in possession. Too many passes were wayward.

Mario Lemina - 5

Lemina struggled on the left wing and never got into the game. It was not for a lack of trying, but the experiment to play him out of position did not work.

Pablo Sarabia - 4

When Wolves needed him most, Sarabia did not deliver. Almost every cross and set piece hit the first defender.

Nathan Fraser - 4

The talented young striker looked tired from the beginning and struggled for any impact. The occasion may have got to him, too.

Matt Doherty (for Toti, 60), 5, Leon Chiwome (for Fraser, 60), 5, Hugo Bueno (for Doyle, 73), 6.

Subs not used: Bentley, Traore, Barnett, N.Lemina, Chirewa, Holman.
