Lampard getting a good feeling about Coventry

Frank Lampard's Coventry City have now won seven of their past eight league games

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard said his side's 2-1 home win over bogey side Preston North End was one of the Sky Blues' best since he took charge - both for the football his side had played and the ending of a hoodoo lasting almost two decades.

The Sky Blues, who have still have never won a league game at Deepdale in 23 visits dating back to 1949, have also long since struggled at home against North End.

Iain Dowie was the Sky Blues boss the last time City beat North End in front of their own fans in September 2007 - just two years after moving into the Arena as their new home.

"It's nice to lay a few ghosts to rest," Lampard told BBC CWR. "It's a nice feeling for the fans when you've had something like that over you. I was aware of it.

"But we're on a good run. You get a good feeling in the stadium that the fans are really buying into it. And we have to continue to build on this.

"Performance-wise I'd say it's one of the best, although the scoreline probably doesn't quite reflect that. It should have been three or four by the time they scored to give us a difficult last 10 minutes.

"We'd dominated them. They hardly threatened us all afternoon, then they get a goal and suddenly we're nervous. It was uncomfortable in the stadium and it didn't need to be.

"Now we have almost everybody fit, we have different ways of getting goals."

Following the return of skipper Ben Sheaf and goal creator Ephron Mason-Clark, only US international striker Haji Wright is yet to return. And, with a free week now until they host Oxford United, Lampard is yet to declare as to whether that might be a good comeback date.
