Lampard on Gboho, a 'tough start' and Brighton

Coventry boss Frank Lampard has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Brighton at CBS Arena (kick-off 14:00 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Josh Eccles, Kaine Kesler and Luke Woolfenden are expected back in training by the international break next month, while late addition Yann Gboho, has been "training and adapting" to the squad for the past week. On what type of player fans should be expecting, Lampard said: "An attacking player who can play various positions, from the left side of midfield or left wing and number 10. He can play in different systems." Loanee Stephen Mfuni was ineligible to face parent club Manchester City at the weekend, but Lampard says the versatile defender is fitting in "very well on and off the pitch" and is ready to play. When asked if the squad are starting to feel more like a Premier League team now, Lampard said: "We are a Premier League team - that's it. We've gone to Arsenal , who are the champions, and Manchester City - two very tough matches. We did create and it's never a given that you can convert chances. This is football and it's something we'll want to do to be successful in this league." He added: "We shouldn't overanalyse what it means at this point - it's what we show going forward in the games coming up. We knew it was going to be a tough start and that's proven true, but I feel we're in a better place having gone through those three games than where we were at the start of the season." Lampard also said the mood and mentality among the squad has been "good" in training this week, with the players taking confidence from the City defeat. On facing Brighton: "You take the game in isolation and understand that it's probably going to be a very difficult game. They are a team that's been building for a long time, a football club that has a particular way of playing. For me, this could be as hard, if not harder than, Manchester City for different reasons."
