Frank Lampard wants his Coventry City side to find their flow again immediately after suffering their first defeat of the season.
Frank Lampard wants his Coventry City side to find their flow again immediately after suffering their first defeat of the season.
Free-scoring Coventry, who have netted 12 goals in their last two Championship games, were beaten 2-1 by Millwall in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening.
Lampard, who made eight changes to his team for the second round tie, says the Sky Blues cannot allow the loss to linger.
"We've had a good start in the league and we need to carry that on. This can't break the rhythm - I've said it to the players. We have to get back to where we were before this game," the Coventry manager told BBC CWR.
"We made changes because we have to because we don't have a big, big squad. We're early in the season and we have to be careful at this stage with the players to be able to play three games in a week.
"Maybe that's some part of why the performance looked like it did. That's for us to digest a little bit.
"We need to improve on that front. If players come in they have to keep the level and we didn't quite do that.
"Yes, we can make the excuse of changing the team but the game has now gone and we have to move back on to the league."
On Saturday, third-placed Coventry travel to Oxford United who are still looking for their first point of the season.
