Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard was pleased with the 'character' his side showed in Saturday's hard-fought 1-0 home win over Bristol City.

"It was a very good result to get," Lampard told BBC CWR.

"I am very pleased with the mentality and character of the team.

"We are missing some bodies, but players are coming in and doing their job.

"We had to fight to get the clean sheet and we got a goal we deserved through the pressure we put on them.

"It was a real moment of quality from Brandon Thomas-Asante," said the Sky Blues boss.

"It wasn't a beautiful game. There was some good stuff, but some moments of turnovers, misplaced partners and bad decisions in there as well.

"I was happy how we managed the game towards the end so I can't complain. There were some real work ethics hidden in the performance too."

After moving up to 14th in the table, City now face a tough trip to Sky Blues old boy John Eustace's Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night - nine points shy of the play-off places and six points clear of trouble,
