Coventry City were not worried about Middlesbrough overtaking them at the top of the Championship before their game with Blackburn, says forward Ephron Mason-Clark.

The Sky Blues were knocked off the summit for a few hours by Boro's win over Ipswich on Friday night before reassuming leadership of the division with their 2-0 victory against Rovers on Saturday.

"It's early in the season, we're not looking at the table really," Mason-Clark told BBC Radio CWR.

"We're not looking at those around us, we're just focusing on ourselves and making sure we're not only prepared for home games but away games as well."

Coventry head to Portsmouth on Tuesday night (19:45 BST) having scored nine goals in their past two away trips.

"Those stats we can't take for granted," added the forward. "We go there to stick to our own qualities and make sure we're fighting for each other and the fans that are travelling down there.

"It's an amazing ground with a lot of history but we're all confident and looking forward to a tough test again."
