It would take even the most casual of football observers little time in pinpointing the reason for Coventry’s ascent to the top of the Championship.<\/p>\n
A free-flowing approach and clinical finishing has brought the Sky Blues a staggering 43 goals in just 16 Championship fixtures – 15 more than the next most prolific scorers, Hull City, and remarkably, 23 more than second-placed Boro.<\/p>\n
Yet what is perhaps most ominous for rivals hoping for a stumble from the runaway leaders is how the goals are being spread through the squad.<\/p>\n
Against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, Coventry started without either of their leading scorers in Brandon Thomas-Asante (10 goals) and Haji Wright (eight).<\/p>\n
So it will have added even more belief in the building bank of confidence to see their replacements, Josh Eccles and Ellis Simms, pop up with a goal apiece to haul them level from 2-0 down.<\/p>\n
“It shows every player that if you aren’t starting because the team’s winning a lot, you’ve got to keep training and keep going and keep pushing, and Josh and Ellis are big examples of that today,” Lampard told BBC Radio WM.<\/p>\n
And Victor Torp’s winner – his seventh goal of the season – will convince Lampard his resilient team can win from almost any position.<\/p>\n
“What I liked was the players never stopped,” he added. “My feeling, even at 2-0, was that we could definitely get back in this, the way we were moving the ball.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
