Frank Lampard celebrated a year in charge of Coventry on Friday and his side are dominating the second tier like few have done before them.<\/p>\n
The Sky Blues have now won all five of their matches in November following their only league loss of the season at Wrexham on 31 October.<\/p>\n
Their goalscoring is also unrivalled in the top four divisions of English football.<\/p>\n
In 10 of their 18 league matches they have scored three or more times.<\/p>\n
They have 15 more goals than the second-highest scorers in the Premier League or EFL – League Two MK Dons.<\/p>\n
No side at this stage of the campaign has scored 50 goals since Sheffield Wednesday in 1958-59 and Middlesbrough’s second-tier record of 122 goals almost a century ago could also be under threat.<\/p>\n
Coventry face tough away tests in their next two fixtures at Ipswich and Preston but on this form no one would bet against them taking six more points.<\/p>\n
Despite the blow of conceding two quick goals just before the break, Charlton showed plenty of heart in the second half and Sonny Carey should have scored to make it 2-2, instead blasting over.<\/p>\n
Once Simms had scored his second of the game and seventh of the season, Bobby Thomas almost made it 4-1 but his effort from distance struck the post.<\/p>\n
A five-game unbeaten run before this losing streak means Charlton still have a six-point buffer to the drop zone.<\/p>\n
However, Addicks fans will be expecting victory against freefalling Portsmouth next weekend to rebuild some momentum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frank Lampard celebrated a year in charge of Coventry on Friday and his side are dominating the second…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-290207","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
