There was no shortage of decent performances as Hull City hosted Norwich City on Friday night.

So to lose for the sixth time in nine league games – 2-1 this time – was very frustrating.

Ryan Allsop – made a big save with his foot in stoppage time to keep alive hopes of a very late equaliser 7

Lewie Coyle – took an elbow to the face shortly before Norwich's opener 6

Alfie Jones – did what he needed to on a quiet night 6

Jacob Greaves – perhaps should have made Jonathan Rowe's job harder for the first goal 6

Matty Jacob – good first Championship start featuring some good passes 7

Tyler Morton – a great goal too late to make a difference 7

Regan Slater – had a go and forced an excellent save from Angus Gunn 8

Ozan Tufan – looked to have a good understanding with debutant Fabio Carvalho 7

Fabio Carvalho – a good mixture of invention and effort, although he waned in the second half 7

Scott Twine – another who was bright at times without the end product 6

Aaron Connolly – battered from pillar to post for 12 minutes before he finally had to come off 5

Substitutes:

Billy Sharp (for Connolly, 14) – forced a couple of saves 7

Jason Lokilo (for Twine, 63) – gave his side something different 6

Harry Vaughan (for Jacob, 84) – N/A

Not used: Ingram, McLoughlin, Docherty, Furlong, Smith, Sellars-Fleming.

Hull City's ratings feature plenty of 7s but they fail to get the job done again
