However, after the opening five games of the Premier League season, BBC CWR presenter Will Oelrich believes some fans are "questioning Rushworth's ability."
After four losses and 10 goals conceded, the "step-up" has proved to be harder than anticipated for some players in Frank Lampard's team.
Coventry fan Ben Taylor said: "He has never played in the Premier League before.
"Even Brighton, the way they press and attack, you think with professional sport that there can't be a big difference between the two leagues [Premier League and Championship].
"The difference is massive."
The 25-year-old was at Brighton for seven years, but he never featured in a Premier League game for the Seagulls.
"In periods against Arsenal and Brighton, they can compete at this level. It is about mindset and concentration," added Taylor.
