Frank Lampard celebrated a year in charge of Coventry on Friday and his side are dominating the second tier like few have done before them.<\/p>\n
The Sky Blues have now won all five of their matches in November following their only league loss of the season at Wrexham on 31 October.<\/p>\n
Their goalscoring is also unrivalled in the top four divisions of English football.<\/p>\n
In 10 of their 18 league matches they have scored three or more times.<\/p>\n
They have 15 more goals than the second-highest scorers in the Premier League or EFL – League Two MK Dons.<\/p>\n
No side at this stage of the campaign has scored 50 goals since Sheffield Wednesday in 1958-59 and Middlesbrough’s second-tier record of 122 goals almost a century ago could also be under threat.<\/p>\n
Coventry face tough away tests in their next two fixtures at Ipswich and Preston but on this form no one would bet against them taking six more points.<\/p>\n
Despite the blow of conceding two quick goals just before the break, Charlton showed plenty of heart in the second half and Sonny Carey should have scored to make it 2-2, instead blasting over.<\/p>\n
Once Simms had scored his second of the game and seventh of the season, Bobby Thomas almost made it 4-1 but his effort from distance struck the post.<\/p>\n
A five-game unbeaten run before this losing streak means Charlton still have a six-point buffer to the drop zone.<\/p>\n
However, Addicks fans will be expecting victory against freefalling Portsmouth next weekend to rebuild some momentum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
