After a successful first 12 months at the helm at Coventry, Frank Lampard has revealed what he takes most satisfaction from.

The Sky Blues are 10 points clear at the top of the Championship after 17 games, having risen from 17th, two points clear of the relegation zone, to the play-offs after Lampard was appointed on 28 November last year.

Asked by BBC CWR what he has taken most satisfaction from during his tenure so far, Lampard said: "We have found different ways to win games but still keeping a feeling of what we are as a team.

"It's a tactical development of the team we should be proud of. The players want to take on information."

Lampard said the identity and unity of the team were key to their success, adding: "We always try and hold dear to what we want to be as a team which is an exciting team with a lot of energy and quality used in the right way.

"The players have spirit and togetherness, it's a real strength of ours. We've got a really tight group that have found a way to improve and get results."

Slumping Charlton, who have lost their past three games, head to the CBS Arena where City are seeking a sixth straight win on Saturday (15:00 GMT), but Lampard remains wary of their threat.

"They've gone to Ipswich and won 3-0, they've had some big results, this week's been tough for them but that's the Championship," he added.

"They are an aggressive off the ball team and will try and press with a lot of energy and we have got to be ready for that."
