Frank Lampard told what Coventry can't do in Premier League without big change

The possibility of Frank Lampard changing Coventry City’s style of football for the Premier League has been raised.

Lampard has led the Sky Blues back to the top flight in his first full season in charge at the CBS Arena.

Coventry also look set to return to the Premier League as champions of the Championship.

They have swept to promotion with three matches to spare by playing an exciting brand of attacking football and scoring 85 goals.

But they face a massive step up to the Premier League next season and BBC EFL pundit Sam Parkin has questioned whether their current style of football will be suited to it.

The Coventry Telegraph has produced a stunning special edition marking the achievements of Frank Lampard and his men.

And to celebrate, the Coventry Telegraph has produced this stunning 48-page special edition marking the achievements of Frank Lampard and his men.

Since relegation in 2001, the Sky Blues have gone through many well-documented lows, but a quarter of a century later, free-scoring City have earned promotion in emphatic style.

And our bumper special edition is the perfect souvenir to remember that fantastic achievement by.

We'll have match reports, pics, and reaction from every kick of City's journey back to English football's promised land.

It's all here... the avalanche of goals pre-Christmas that made promotion look nailed on, the brief wobble that followed, and the revival under Lampard to consolidate their position at the top of the table.

Plus, Sky Blues writer Andy Turner will have pages and pages of in-depth analysis on the title-winning season, manager Lampard's success, key players, and what lies ahead for the club in the top flight.

Club historian Jim Brown will also share his fact-filled take on promotion, while there will be pictures and reports from the Sky Blues' joyful promotion celebrations.

"It's difficult to predict how they will do,” he said.

“They don't have that kind of really robust style that maybe Luton came up with a couple of seasons ago and upset a few people.

"They play good football, so they'll probably be quite open. Whether Frank changes that to be a bit more defensively-minded and pragmatic next season, we'll have to wait and see."
