Frank Lampard wants tunnel vision from record-chasing Coventry side

Wrexham’s point at Boro allowed Coventry to move three points clear at the top of the Championship.

The Sky Blues, who lost to Sunderland in the play-offs after finishing fifth last season, are now favourites to clinch automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Wrexham, who lie 16th in the table, have found life in the second tier more of a challenge after three successive promotions but Lampard loves the fact they have brought a taste of Hollywood to the division.

“It’s a brilliant story that we’ve all followed to some degree,” he said.

“I played against Wrexham many years ago on loan at Swansea – I think I gave a penalty away. I lunged in when I shouldn’t have done.

“To think where that stadium was at then and where the team was at then… it’s got a big following now. The owners have come at it from a different angle, with a lot of passion and everyone has bought into it.

“Of course we want to win the game but as a story I think it’s fantastic. We should promote those stories of clubs that have come up and invested and have tried to have a go in the Championship – and they are having a go.”
