Coventry City, under the guidance of Frank Lampard, are making waves in the Championship! Just a year ago, the Sky Blues were languishing in 17th place, with many fans unconvinced by the appointment. Fast forward to today, and they're a force to be reckoned with, exceeding all expectations.
From Play-Off Heartbreak to Championship Dominance
Last season's play-off run, agonizingly ended by a late Sunderland goal, seems like a distant memory. Coventry City has bounced back with remarkable resilience. Even a single defeat against Wrexham hasn't derailed their momentum – it's just one 'L' amongst a sea of 'W's!
Under Lampard, Coventry has played 52 games across all competitions, securing 29 wins, 10 draws, and 13 defeats. That translates to a impressive win ratio of 55.77%. Their high-risk, high-reward style of play has brought goals galore and, most importantly, results.
Wright-Phillips Backs Lampard and Coventry
Shaun Wright-Phillips, Lampard's former teammate at Chelsea, believes Coventry City's promotion to the Premier League is 'theirs to lose'. With a commanding 10-point lead at the top of the Championship, Wright-Phillips is confident that if Coventry maintains their current form, they'll be virtually unstoppable.
"I think it’s theirs to lose," Wright-Phillips stated, highlighting the challenges of the Championship, especially during the demanding December period. He added, "He’ll put the hard work in to become what he needs to become. Right now, he decided that he would become a good manager, and he has worked at that."
Coventry are on track to shatter records in the Championship and potentially even the EFL. The question now is: can they maintain this incredible form and secure their place in the Premier League?
