JAY Dasilva insists Coventry City showed ‘belief’ to come from behind and claim victory at Sheffield United.
Dasilva impressed at left-back as goals from Haji Wright and Jack Rudoni inspired the Sky Blues to a first victory at Bramall Lane in over a decade.
Coventry are now unbeaten in their last four league games, the club’s longest run without defeat since November.
However, Dasilva insists he and his teammates always believed they could get a result against the Blades even after falling behind to Harrison Burrows’ goal.
Dasilva said: “We knew how important it would be for us to come here and get that away win.
“Our main focus is making it a nine-point week [against Stoke on Saturday].
“We knew it was going to be tough coming here, they’ve started to pick up on results and form.
“We just had to stick with it. The main point was belief and just believing in each other and that we could get the job done.
“You can see the bodies on the line and how hard the boys are working to keep the ball out the back of the net.”
The Sky Blues sit five points clear at the top of the Championship table after recording their 20th league win of the campaign.
And Dasilva admits Coventry’s difficult spells in both December and January reminded the club just how difficult a league the Championship is.
Dasilva added: “We took a bit of a blip. It was good for us to reset the mind and get back to focusing on what we’ve been doing well.
“We had a punch on the nose and just a reminder of how tough this league is.
“Not every game is going to be handed to us and we’ve got to work hard for each win.
“It looks nice [at the top of the table] but we’ve just got to focus game-by-game and what’s ahead of us.
“We’ve already seen how quickly things can change in this league.”
Coventry are next in action against Stoke City on Saturday, February 28 with kick-off at 3pm at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
