FT: Ipswich 3-0 Coventry
Coventry
Coventry City boss Frank Lampard told BBC Radio CWR:
“We were winning everything in the first half, the second balls were dropping to us, we were the team who had the real personality. Great organisation, work ethic off the ball, everything was great and we restricted them.
“And they get a goal from a bit of a mess at a corner. Then you’ve got a difficult job, but I still thought the players kept going.
“3-0, I don’t like it, of course. I’m a bad loser, I hate defeats and I’ll analyse them and maybe react to the players.
“My only reaction is for them to understand that they approach this game against a parachute team with a big squad and players they can bring off the bench.
“We don’t have to focus on that, but I’m relatively pleased and proud with how we approached the game.
“Circumstances happen, I don’t like losing and the reaction is the only important thing.
“But in terms of the game I thought anyone who was here and saw that first half will realise this isn’t Coventry from the first half of last season, this is a team that wants to try and go and do something. Today we didn’t but it can happen.”
