Coventry City boss Frank Lampard feels his team did better than the scoreline suggested as they were beaten 3-0 at Ipswich.

It was just the Championship leaders’ second league defeat of the season.

“We were winning everything in the first half, the second balls were dropping to us, we were the team who had the real personality,” he told BBC Radio CWR.

“Great organisation, work ethic off the ball, everything was great and we restricted them.

“And they get a goal from a bit of a mess at a corner. Then you’ve got a difficult job, but I still thought the players kept going.

“3-0, I don’t like it, of course. I’m a bad loser, I hate defeats and I’ll analyse them and maybe react to the players.

“Circumstances happen, I don’t like losing and the reaction is the only important thing.

“But in terms of the game I thought anyone who was here and saw that first half will realise this isn’t Coventry from the first half of last season, this is a team that wants to try and go and do something. Today we didn’t but it can happen.”
