"They definitely look like they've learned from last season and improved and that was always going to be the biggest test. At the moment they've passed that test with flying colours. It's not uncommon to see teams have a slight hangover and feel sorry for themselves, but Coventry haven't done that. I actually feel if they were to go on and get promotion this season it'd be better timing than last season - you can go up too early. Frank Lampard got his message across last year in terms of the structure and the way he likes things done, but they now look a more complete team."
"Any team that's going to get promotion has to have standout goalscorers and Coventry have got Haji Wright, Ellis Simms - who you know is capable - and also Brandon Thomas-Asante, who got a couple against Sheffield Wednesday and has a great record. They've got goals throughout their squad, with midfielders who will chip in. To score 27 at this stage of the season and be playing the way they're playing is incredible."
Coventry currently sit top of the Championship, unbeaten and celebrating a 5-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday that left them having scored 12 goals and conceded none in their past three games. The side appears to have learned from last season's play-off defeat and shows improved structure under Frank Lampard, delivering consistent performances rather than merely wins. Goals come from Haji Wright, Ellis Simms and Brandon Thomas-Asante, with midfielders also contributing, amounting to 27 goals at this stage. Sheffield Wednesday endured a chastening day amid on-field struggles and visible fan unrest.
