‘Kill you’ Frank Lampard makes point on theme that has damaged ‘well coached’ Sheffield Wednesday

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard is a fan of what Sheffield Wednesday are about.
The England playing legend made no secret of his side’s fortune in a 2-1 win at Hillsborough on Saturday that saw the Owls dominate large periods of the game only to be squeezed out in the final minutes. A controversial afternoon saw penalty appeals turned down, a Coventry goal scrubbed out, defensive lapses and a goalkeeping error as Wednesday failed to make anything of a performance that allowed them to unleash 22 shots on goal.

Wednesday’s position within reach of the play-off places is one they’ve held for much of the campaign, a sign of monumental progress from a 2023/24 season that saw them stage a dramatic survival mission completed on the very last day. But frustration sits looking back on matches they have largely dominated between the boxes without taking the full three points, particularly at home. Speaking after the weekend’s clash, Lampard sympathised with the issue Wednesday are facing.

“I’m talking about another team here and I don’t always like doing that,” he told The Star. “But I understand that problem of when you feel you’re in control of games and you feel you’re doing well, but the boxes kill you at either end if you don’t score when you should and you don’t defend moments you should. It’s difficult. From an outside point of view I know they’re a really good team and they’ll be working on them but sometimes it’s just the nature of the game. Full credit to them, they gave us a very tough game. Everybody in the stadium knows that.”
