Lampard had an impressive start to the new season with Coventry. |
After finishing the midweek round 8 Championship matches, Coventry City continued their upward momentum by defeating Millwall 4-0 right on their opponent's field. The team nicknamed "Sky Blues" performed an inspiring performance in the 2025/26 season, leaving fans in awe.
After 8 matches, Coventry City have 16 points (4 wins, 4 draws), temporarily ranking second in the table. They are one of two teams that have not lost in the Championship since the beginning of the season. Although Middlesbrough - the other unbeaten team in the tournament - leads the table with 18 points, there is much evidence that Coventry are the best team in the Championship at the moment.
Coventry have scored 22 goals in eight games, eight more than the second-best attack in the division. Their main striker, Haji Wright, leads the Championship's scoring charts with eight goals, while another Coventry player, Milan van Ewijk, also leads the assists charts with five assists.
Goalkeeper Carl Rushworth has kept four clean sheets, a league-best record. Coventry have had 137 shots in eight games, 21 more than any other team. They also have a league-high 43 shots on target.

Coach Lampard's team is playing very well. |
Coventry City's expected goals (xG) since the start of the season is 17.3, far ahead of the second-best team, Southampton (13.3). Lampard is highly regarded because the club has not spent too much in the transfer market since the beginning of the summer.
Lampard's success has largely been based on getting the most out of his existing players. With explosive attacking play and stability across all lines, the Sky Blues are proving to be a top contender for promotion to the Premier League next season.
When Lampard took over at Coventry in November 2024, the team was only 17th in the Championship. By the end of the 2024/25 season, Coventry finished an astonishing 5th.
If he helps Coventry get promoted to the Premier League at the end of the season, Lampard will end the club's 25-year "thirst", since they were relegated in 2001.
