Coventry City manager Frank Lampard told Sky Blues fans to enjoy the club's hot streak while it lasts with no guarantees the good times will continue to roll.

The Championship leaders won their sixth match on the bounce and extended an unbeaten run to 12 games in the league when beating Watford 3-1 at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Speaking to BBC Radio CWR, Lampard said: "Six wins, 12 unbeaten but don't get used to it like it is nothing. We can improve for sure but we need to continue.

"As easy as you go on these type of runs it can go on the reverse. We have to control it and keep working."

Lampard was delighted with the result against a Watford side who posed a threat throughout despite finding themselves reduced to 10 men before the break.

"It was a difficult game against good opposition with lots of pace, lots of transition threat and lots of quality. If you'd offered me that (3-1) this morning against Watford I would have taken it so I'm happy.

"Carl Rushworth made some great saves for us. That is what he is there for and it is great to see a continuation of his form. We did a lot of damage in the first half but they are a counter attacking team.

"We had to be a bit careful in how we played but we had to take the sting out of the game. We want to win games. If you get loose against good opposition they are dangerous."
