Lamps so hungry after thin Xmas
THE rest of the Championship are probably thinking that Coventry City are having a bit of a wobble.
Having raced into an exceptional lead after racking up 11 wins from 12 games heading into December, the Sky Blues’ staying power has been tested in a challenging run through Christmas.
Frank Lampard’s thin squad has suffered from injuries, illness and suspension.
Two home wins and two draws on the road were book-ended by defeats from a recovering Ipswich Town whose upward momentum has taken them to within eight points of the leaders, who they beat 2-0 on Monday.
“It’s unusual and it hurts because we win a lot of games here,” said Lampard, reflecting on his side's first loss of the season on home soil, and only the third league defeat at the stadium under his 13-month watch.
