What we have learned from the Championship so far?

"We are 15 rounds into the Championship season and it's shaping up to be one for the ages. Coventry City are blazing a trail at the top of the pile, breaking records as they go, there are some surprising names clinging onto their coattails, while two of the teams parachuted down from the Premier League are nowhere to be seen... yet."

"It was 28 November, 2024, when Frank Lampard was named as Mark Robins' successor as City manager, with the club 17th and just two points above the relegation zone. Lampard has overseen 44 league matches since then, winning 26, drawing eight and losing 10, to earn 86 points. The average points for teams securing promotion from the Championship to the Premier League is 89,"

"Coventry have a five-point lead and are effectively six points ahead in the race for promotion after 15 games, such is their superior goal difference. Teams have started fast and faded plenty of times, but this Sky Blues team feels different, with a blend of defensive stability, incredible attacking threat, and perseverance, which has seen them score the most goals, and boast the best goal difference, at this stage of the campaign on record."

Coventry City sit top of the Championship after 15 matches with a five-point lead and an effectively six-point advantage because of superior goal difference.

A 1.95 points-per-game return is Lampard's best career rate and projects toward roughly 94 points if sustained.
