Before Saturday's game, Frank Lampard said his Coventry side needed to inject energy into their performance against Sunderland.

It's something I asked Carl Rushworth about prior to kick-off. The goalkeeper explained it was on the players to get the crowd going and generate a noise inside CBS Arena.

And boy, did they do just that. Not just through the goals – but the tenacity and zest in their play.

It was epitomised by Jack Rudoni.

I was really impressed with the pockets of space he found, his desire to get on the ball – and even the cheekiness to try a cute, grass-cutting free-kick late on.

Not to mention his third goal in his past four games.

From Saturday's evidence, CBS Arena will play a vital role in determining whether Coventry play Premier League football again next season.

And if Rudoni continues in that form, the fans will definitely have something to cheer.
