Coventry need to 'guard against complacency'published at 17:45 BST
Lampard, my ambition is right here
Coventry City manager Frank Lampard says his players "needed recovery", but should avoid becoming complacent.
Lampard lost Haji Wright (USA), Brandon Thomas-Asante (Ghana), Joel Latibeaudiere (Jamaica) and Jay Dasilva (Wales), as they all went off to join their respective international teams.
"We used the time well and the players needed recovery first and foremost," Lampard told BBC Radio CWR. "It has given us a chance to get the right level of physical work.
"It is is not always easy to work overly tactical when you are missing some important players, we are not the biggest squad.
"But it gives us the chance to bring up some young players and have a look at those who have added positively to the feeling of the group."
The Sky Blues are the only team in the Championship yet to lose this season. Their last game before the break saw them complete a 5-0 thumping over Sheffield Wednesday.
Coventry welcome Blackburn to the CBS Arena on Saturday (15:00 BST), where they will be looking to extended their unbeaten streak.
"The unbeaten record is nice, but I'm not so concerned about that, because we can lose a game in this league," Lampard added.
"But performance wise and feeling wise the way the players are running for each other on the pitch and how they are performing on the pitch has been great - but I have to be the first one to understand the minute those levels drop then everything changes.
"There were a few glimpses at Sheffield Wednesday, even in the 5-0 where we dropped a little bit, players have seen that back since and we have to make sure we guard against any complacency."
