Lampard rues mistakes as Coventry lose at Plymouth

Frank Lampard has guided Coventry City from 17th in the Championship to sixth place

Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard was left to rue his side's mistakes as they lost 3-1 at bottom-of-the-table Plymouth Argyle.

The defeat keeps the Sky Blues in sixth place and occupying the final play-off spot.

But with play-off rivals Bristol City and Middlesbrough both losing it was a missed opportunity to further consolidate a chance of some post-season action.

"This was a game that was completely dominated by the types of goals that they score against you," he told BBC Sport:

"We were going to have a lot of the ball and it was mistakes that led to transitions and set pieces.

"If you are short on those on the day against a team that are a team of giants, big boys, you know what's coming.

"Every goal kick, every throw in, every set piece is coming in - and you have to deal with that and you have to be more dynamic to break the low block, and we were not at that level today.

"The third goal comes along and makes it even more difficult; they have something more to protect."
