It was an appointment heavily debated when Coventry City replaced club legend Mark Robins with Frank Lampard nearly a year ago.
Safe to say any question marks over the decision have disappeared.

And it is not just the unbeaten start, but the manner of it. Too many draws blighted their start, but they have now won six on the bounce.
They have scored 34 goals, and no other side has scored more than 20. They have conceded just nine: only two sides have a better defensive record, and by a single goal.
Coventry also have a goal difference of +25, when no other side in the league
