Lampard draws comfort - but wants a bit more
Coventry Telegraph
|September 22, 2025
FRANK Lampard set out his ambitions ahead of Saturday's game to see his Coventry City side competing more with the Championship's top-end teams this season.
-
The Sky Blues struggled against the three relegated Premier League sides benefiting from parachute payments and strong squads last term - Leeds, Burnley and Sheffield United - losing five out of the six matches, home and away, and managing just a single point against the Blades.
And while his players didn’t beat the Foxes, they gave a decent account of themselves and were far from outplayed or outclassed. But Lampard still believes his side could have tested their opponents more, saying: “No we didn’t lose but we can be better than today. But we've come away and you have to respect the game for what it is.
