No, but seriously. Maybe Frank Lampard and Coventry can achieve Premier League survival. The club’s first top-division win since April 2001 was celebrated rapturously, victory an object lesson in unsettling opponents for whom confidence can waver. Jay Dasilva’s excellent goal was built on the foundations laid by a battling defensive performance that must be replicated on a weekly basis. Coventry, dogged throughout, blunted Nottingham Forest’s creativity, though could thank a late video assistant referee call that enraged the City Ground crowd.
Lampard declared, with his broadest grin: “I feel great, I feel amazing.” Next, as is his way, back to serious business. “The reality in football is you have to fight for it, you have to work for it, you have to have organisation.”
