No sign of nerves from Yang Min-Hyeok at 20 — 7.82
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Yang Min-Hyeok did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Nobody could get near Ephron Mason-Clark
Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Haji Wright in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Coventry City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Brandon Thomas-Asante has a hand in both — 7.61
One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.61, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.

Kai Yearn is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

A late step up for Carl Rushworth
At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

6 unbeaten for Coventry City
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Coventry City did not have in the autumn.

Frank Onyeka falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Yang Min-Hyeok rescues a point for Coventry City
It needed Yang Min-Hyeok to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Middlesbrough, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
