FRANK Lampard is not focused on breaking records with Coventry City just one victory away from achieving a new milestone ahead of their trip to Wrexham.
Coventry have won their last six league matches and a seventh consecutive win against Wrexham on Friday night (October 31) would break a club record.
City have previously won six matches in a row in 1954, 1964 and the current campaign but have never won seven on the bounce.
However, Lampard remains focused on continuing the confidence and momentum that has seen Coventry rise to the top of the Championship table on a 12-game unbeaten run.
Lampard said: “I just want to win games. It won’t be forever because this is football.
“You park the last one, you take and the good and the bad from it and move onto the next one.
“Everyone else can talk about any records. Confidence and momentum are great.
“But it’s about understanding that if you drop your levels, you’ll lose both of those very quickly in this game.
“We promote confidence and momentum. But keep doing everything right and understand everything can always improve.
“Every opposition give you different challenges and we have to be adaptable to that.”
Coventry host a Wrexham side who have achieved three successive promotions from the National League to the Championship.
Phil Parkinson’s side have adapted well to life in the second tier and find themselves 16th in the table.
The Hollywood-owned club signed Coventry captain Ben Sheaf on transfer deadline day and also have former City loanee Callum Doyle and defender Dominic Hyam in their squad.
Wrexham also triumphed in the most recent meeting between the two clubs back in January 2023.
The Welsh side, then playing in the National League, triumphed 4-3 at the Coventry Building Society Arena in the FA Cup.
And Lampard is full of admiration for the journey Wrexham have embarked on under the stewardship of Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Lampard added: “It’s a great story. It’s a brilliant story. I think we’ve all followed it to some degree.
“I played against Wrexham many years ago for Swansea and I think I gave a penalty away.
“To think where that stadium was at then and where the team was at then.
“To see what the owners have done, come at it from a different angle and with a lot of passion.
“They’ve got a big following, everyone’s bought into it, as a story it’s fantastic.
“We should promote those stories of clubs coming up, they’ve invested and they’re having a go.”
Coventry travel to Wrexham on Friday, October 31 with kick-off at 8pm at the Racecourse Ground.
