Coventry 'reacted well' to adversity in Blades win

Coventry City's comeback win against Sheffield United was an example of how they can fight back from adversity, says defender Bobby Thomas.

The Championship leaders went 1-0 down after former Coventry defender Sam McCallum scored for the struggling Blades in the 25th minute.

That was only the second time this season City had conceded the first goal in a league game but Frank Lampard's side responded in style after half-time.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto equalised after 49 minutes, Thomas headed in from a corner on the hour before the Championship's top scorer Brandon Thomas-Asante scored his 10th goal of the season in injury time to seal victory.

"Through the season we're not going to be coming in two, three-nil up every time, we are going to face adversity and today was an example of that," Thomas told BBC CWR.

"Coming in at 1-0 down, we managed to react to that and put what happened in the first half behind us and changed our view on the game. I thought we did that very well.

"Once we got the first goal, the game kind of flipped and we were on top. It seemed to change the game."

The win - Coventry's ninth in 14 games - kept them four points clear of Stoke City, who they face at the bet365 Stadium in a mouth-watering prospect on Saturday.

"Should be a good game, first v second, hopefully we'll come out on top," Thomas added.

"It'll be tough. They're flying at their place - let's see what happens."
