Managerless Cov remaining 'in the present' - Rudoni

Bobby Thomas headed Coventry City's 80th-minute equaliser from Jack Rudoni's right-wing corner

Coventry City midfielder Jack Rudoni says all he and his team-mates can do is "remain in the present" as they await to see who will become the next manager.

Former Chelsea and England star Frank Lampard is understood to remain the main contender to succeed Mark Robins.

Much-travelled Steve Round, who has worked in various roles with Newcastle United, Everton, Manchester United, Aston Villa and England, has now also been linked with a role in the new Sky Blues hierarchy following his summer departure from Arsenal.

But Rudoni told BBC CWR: "We don't know who's coming in, so all we can do is remain in the present.

"The staff have been very good with us and tried not to make things too difficult."

Speaking after his corner was headed in by Bobby Thomas for a late equaliser to earn the Sky Blues a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United, Rudoni added: "There is a big sense of frustration that we didn't win.

"We just have to cut out conceding silly goals. But it was nice to get a good cross in for the goal. I'd had a few that weren't as good. It's not easy when you're trying to miss out six-foot-six strikers. But it was a nice little finish from Bobby."

The fact that Coventry had a man advantage for the whole of the second half was down to the red card received by Blades defender Anel Ahmedhodzic in a late first-half incident with City striker Norman Bassette.

The Belgian, only playing because of the injury to USA international Haji Wright, was accused of gamesmanship by Blades boss Chris Wilder, who suggested that Bassette had goaded Ahmedhodzic into losing his temper.

Rudoni said: "He's got a bit of that side to him. But sometimes you need that from a striker. He's a good lad. He cares. And he's still learning. He's young, energetic and he's doing really well. He's got a bright future and is a joy to play with."
