Frank Lampard remains grounded as Coventry City celebrates a significant rise in the Championship standings, having soared four places to now sit just a point shy of the playoff positions, following their thrilling last-minute victory over .
This latest win marks a remarkable turnaround for the Sky Blues, who were precariously close to the relegation zone when Lampard succeeded Mark Robins. In just over two months at the helm, the Chelsea legend has instilled his vision into the squad, amassing 27 points from a possible 45 across 15 Championship matches, suffering only four defeats in that period.
While keeping his feet on the ground, Lampard acknowledged the positive change: “Yes, it’s certainly better than being down the bottom, that’s for sure,” he remarked. “When I arrived, there was a strong belief within the squad that we could improve. The players have worked diligently and shown great commitment to our objectives.
They have been rewarding to coach as they train effectively and respond well to instructions. The atmosphere in the dressing room is uplifting, and despite the challenges the league presents, they have persevered through tough moments. Ultimately, we are now focusing our sights upwards.”
In true football fashion, Lampard adhered to the classic mantra: “We’ll take every game as it comes. This recent stretch has propelled us up the league, but we cannot afford to be complacent, especially with teams like QPR who pose significant challenges every time we face them.”
With the team’s current momentum, the question on everyone’s mind is whether can sustain their push for a playoff position as the season progresses.
