Lampard 'happy' with feeling around Coventry

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard says he is "happy" with his team's league performances and the feeling around the club, despite losing to Millwall in the second round of the EFL Cup.

The Sky Blues lost 2-1 to Millwall in Tuesday's cup game after a late penalty converted by Haji Wright wasn't enough to see them take the game to a penalty shootout.

Coventry are unbeaten in the league after winning two and drawing one of their opening three fixtures and visit Oxford on Saturday.

"Millwall was a game we never want to lose," Lampard told BBC Radio CWR. "We made a lot of changes which was important to do for different reasons, and it was a shame to lose it but we have to get straight back in to the mindset of the league and going into the international break.

"It is going to be a very tough match, and we felt that at Oxford last season.

"I'm happy with the league, other than the Hull game which we drew, which we probably should of won, but we probably weren't out at 100% - which can happen.

"Since then I have been happy with performance, with the attitude of the players and the feeling around the place.

"It is just the start, once we get through this game that is the first tiny block of the season done. I'm happy with what the players have put in, but it is always about the next game and not relying on things that have happened.

"At this point we are in a good place but we must stay on guard, as we need to stay motivated for every single game."

Coventry are the highest scorers in the division with 12 goals from their three games following a 5-3 win at Derby and 7-1 thumping of QPR last weekend.

"It is crucial to win football matches," added Lampard. "Scoring goals is great for the feeling in the game, like when we scored early against QPR and then we went on to score again - that feeling is great, but that won't always be the case."
