No stranger to a successful penalty during his playing heyday, Coventry boss Lampard witnessed his players score four of their five spot kicks against second-tier foes Sheffield Wednesday last Saturday, where an injury-time Anthony Musaba strike denied them progression in 90 minutes.

Jake Bidwell's unsuccessful 12-yard effort did not prove fatal, as Jamal Lowe fluffed his lines before Oliver Dovin kept out Olaf Kobacki's strike, presenting Norman Bassette with the opportunity to send Coventry through to round four.

A home tie with Premier League new boys Ipswich Town is now in the diary for February, but Lampard's men have some Championship mistakes to rectify first and foremost, having failed to win any of their last three matches in the second tier.

Back-to-back draws with Millwall and Cardiff City preceded a 2-1 defeat away at Norwich City on January 4, an especially gut-wrenching one as Amankwah Forson struck twice in second-half injury time to complete a captivating Canaries comeback, one that leaves Coventry 16th in the Championship standings.

在他的全盛时期，考文垂主帅兰帕德见证了他的球员在上周六对阵二级对手谢菲尔德星期三的比赛中打进5个点球中的4个，而安东尼·穆萨巴在伤停补时阶段的进球让他们在90分钟内无法晋级。

杰克·比德维尔在12码处的射门失败并没有造成致命的打击，贾马尔·洛维在奥利弗·多文挡出奥拉夫·科巴基的射门之前没有打出他的底线，给诺曼·巴塞特提供了将考文垂送进第四轮的机会。

在2月份的比赛中，我们将在主场迎战英超新人伊普斯维奇，但兰帕德的球队首先要纠正一些在联赛中犯的错误，他们在最近的三场乙级联赛中一场都没赢。

在与米尔沃尔和卡迪夫城的背对背战平之后，1月4日客场2-1不敌诺维奇城，这是一场特别令人揪心的比赛，下半场伤停补时阶段，阿曼克瓦·福森梅开二度，完成了加纳利群岛的迷人逆转，使考文垂在英冠联赛中排名第16位。
