Lampard pleased to see Sky Blues strikers on target

Frank Lampard led Coventry to the Championship play-offs last season

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard is happy with the competition he has among his strikers after a 2-2 draw with St Pauli on Saturday in their final pre-season friendly.

Brandon Thomas-Asante and Ellis Simms were on target as the Sky Blues completed their warm-up programme before the Championship opener at home to Hull City on Saturday (12:30 BST).

"It's nice to have strikers scoring goals - we've been a bit short of that in pre-season," Lampard told BBC CWR.

"But that's the hardest part of football, the sharpness and ability to finish so we can be happy with that.

"We've got competition up there and we need the players to perform but I'm well aware that strikers who are scoring and in confident runs can score more. It's a good feeling for them."

Haji Wright finished last season as Coventry's top scorer with 12 goals and was able to play 15 minutes against the German Bundesliga side as he continues his return from an Achilles injury.

"Haji's a big player for us and he came on having progressed very well with his injury - he's really keen and very positive and we're pleased to get him some minutes," Lampard added.

"He has some work to do to bridge the gap but it puts us in good stead having players of the calibre of Haji playing in that central area," added Lampard.
