Let's be brave about being in Premier League - Coventry's Lampard

Coventry City's Premier League debut was not the triumphant start many had anticipated after a 25-year absence. The Sky Blues suffered a second consecutive loss, further highlighting the challenges that lie ahead in their new division. Despite 10 promoted teams managing to survive their opening two matches, including Aston Villa in the 2019-20 season, Coventry will need to step up their performance.

The match against Hull City proved particularly difficult, as they were unable to recover from Liam Millar's late goal. Owner Doug King watched anxiously as his team struggled, with manager Frank Lampard noting a sense of nervousness about their play. Lampard believes this apprehension must be addressed swiftly. Former Wales captain Ashley Williams also concurred, expressing concern that the early defeats will significantly impact the team's confidence.

With Coventry already six points behind Hull City, the psychological blows of these setbacks could prove to be a significant challenge moving forward.
