Hull City player ratings vs Sheffield Wednesday as Tigers suffer yet more home humiliation

Tim Walter's awful tenure at Hull City continued to plunge new depths on Tuesday, losing 2-0 to Sheffield Wednesday at an increasingly fed-up MKM Stadium.

City's home woes continued with a poor first half display which saw them a goal down shortly before the break when Josh Windass slotted in a penalty after Joao Pedro's clumsy foul. The hosts did create two good chances through Regan Slater who should have scored and Xavier Simons, who hit a post, but they were cut open time and time again.

Wednesday finally secured the points in the final 10 minutes when Michael Smith came off the bench to turn in their second and complete City's misery.

Here's how Tigers reporter Barry Cooper rated the players under the MKM Stadium lights on Tuesday evening....

Ivor Pandur: A busy first period for the City stopper. Sent the wrong way by Windass' penalty kick and could do nothing about the second. 6/10

Cody Drameh: Found the going really tough in the first half before recovering in the second. Made a couple of timely interventions. 6/10

Charlie Hughes: Booked for a head-to-head clash with Ike Ugbo in one of the livelier moments of what was a game that fizzled. Booked for that, and was taken off for Bedia late on. 6/10

Alfie Jones: Saw plenty of the ball again but was often exposed alongside Hughes, as Wednesday often cut through the City side at will, at times. 6/10

Lewie Coyle: Another typical Coyle performance of grit and determination, bombing from right to left and back again. 6/10

Regan Slater: Had a glorious chance to fire City a goal up after half-an-hour from close range but picked out the goalkeeper's legs, before being hooked at half-time. 5/10

Kasey Palmer: Handed his maiden MKM Stadium start after his impressive cameo at Luton Town and went close in the early stages driving into the side-netting from the edge of the box. 6/10

Xavier Simons: Not in the game in the first half. Wednesday dominated but did hit the post with a shot at the end of it. Fizzed over in the second before coming off just shy of the hour. 5/10

Ryan Longman: A first start of the season for the winger after recovering from his shoulder surgery. Started on the right before moving to the left, struggled to get into the game and was sacrificed at half-time. 5/10

Abu Kamara: Early cross into the box almost caught out goalkeeper James Beadle. Still looks like he lacks confidence. Made a brilliant goal-saving tackle to stop Wednesday making it 2-0. 6/10

Joao Pedro: Nothing going forward, so tried to get involved in the game at the wrong end and gave away a silly penalty. Forced a decent save from Beadle in the second half with a looping header. 5/10

Subs:

Abdus Omur (for Longman 46): His delivery from corners showed promise, and indeed, fashioned an opening for Pedro to head at goal. 6/10

Marvin Mehlem (for Slater 46): One decent knockback for Joao Pedro to miss from a yard or two out. Offered little else. 5/10

Gustavo Puerta (for Simons 58): Buzzed around when he came on, won a free kick on the far side with some nimble footwork. 5/10

Chris Bedia (for Hughes 77): Caused a few nervy moments for Wednesday, but couldn't get into a game City had not been in for long periods. 5/10

Mason Burstow (for Kamara 86): Too little time in truth, coming on wide left this time. 5/10
