Chris Deez,<\/a> believes that breaking the record would be a step too far \u2013 and he isn\u2019t even interested in City doing so really.<\/p>\nChris told FLW: \u201cMy heart says yes, but my head says no. As any Cov fan would be able to tell you, we are our own worst enemy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf anyone was going to ruin this run of form, all of these incredible stats that we keep achieving or these records keep breaking; if anyone is going to ruin that, then it is Coventry City.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m absolutely thrilled that we went away to Portsmouth and got a 2-1 win. I didn\u2019t think we were going to get anything there. I would have been happy with a draw before the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey caused problems, Blackburn caused problems when they came here. We aren\u2019t playing teams off the pack. We\u2019re just defending well, and we\u2019re scoring a lot of goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe aren\u2019t playing incredibly. We aren\u2019t prime Barcelona all of a sudden. There are still issues, and we are still inviting a lot of pressure.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is only a matter of time before it ends. I don\u2019t want to be a pessimist but I just don\u2019t see it lasting for the whole season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not going to be 106 points, like Reading\u2019s all-time record. I just don\u2019t see that\u2019s happening, and I\u2019m not really bothered about it happening as long as we get promoted. That\u2019s all that matters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got Watford at home, Wrexham away, Sheffield United at home, Stoke away and West Brom at home. Out of the next five games, if we can come out of that with at least nine points from those games, then I\u2019d be pretty happy with that. Two wins and three draws.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think that, at the minute, there is any team we should fear. There are very, very good teams and there are, despite our league position, better teams in the league than us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way we\u2019re playing and the belief and the fans getting behind the team, and whatever (Frank) Lampard has instilled into the team is absolutely unbelievable.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s turned (Brandon) Thomas-Asante into an absolute machine. Matt Grimes was an inspired signing; I honestly think one of the best signings in our entire history.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve still got the lovely problem of having (Jack) Rudoni to come back from injury. How do we fit him into the team at the minute? (Tatsuhiro) Sakamoto didn\u2019t even start (against Portsmouth). Haji Wright didn\u2019t start.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s crazy. We have so much depth throughout the squad and so much quality throughout the squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, injuries will be a big factor. We aren\u2019t going to go through the whole season without any injuries. Rudoni has missed the last five games.<\/p>\n
\u201c106 points would be lovely, but I\u2019m not interested in it at all. Give me 90 points and promotion as that is all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coventry City must prepare for a wobble in the Championship<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Both at Derby County and at Everton, and sometimes even at Chelsea, there has been a view that Frank Lampard could be a streaky manager.<\/p>\n
The highs of his teams were great, but the lows would often come out of nowhere and persist for a time, and that lack of consistency has held his managerial career back thus far.<\/p>\n
It could well be that learning and experience has helped Lampard with that and Coventry will be the beneficiaries of a newfound fluency and form that sees them continue to trample all in their way.<\/p>\n
However, if it was to happen again, then Coventry<\/a> supporters will have to brace themselves for a slight wobble.<\/p>\nThe good thing is, they are giving themselves the opportunity to have a slight blip and remain in an excellent position to win the title, let alone achieve promotion back to the Premier League \u2014 Breaking the 106-point record would be an added bonus, but the second tier is so unpredictable that it’s hard to see it happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article is part of Football League World’s ‘Terrace Talk’ series, which provides personal opinions from our FLW…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":["post-12947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
