In a hard-fought match against Norwich City, Coventry City manager Frank Lampard found a silver lining in the form of Ghanaian forward Brandon Thomas-Asante. Despite the Sky Blues falling to a 2-1 defeat, Lampard was full of praise for the 26-year-old’s tireless effort and overall contribution on the pitch.

“Brandon’s work ethic was exceptional,” Lampard remarked. “His hold-up play and movement off the ball were standout qualities tonight. He gives everything for the team, and that’s the kind of attitude we need to push forward.”

Thomas-Asante, who joined Coventry City from West Bromwich Albion, has cemented his place as a regular starter, clocking his 27th appearance of the season. Playing the full 90 minutes, the Ghanaian international showcased why he remains a key figure in Lampard’s plans.

While the defeat dropped Coventry City to 16th in the league standings after 26 games, Lampard maintained optimism, urging his side to take the result “on the chin” and bounce back. He also highlighted the collective performance of the squad, emphasizing his belief in their potential to climb the table.

Lampard, who replaced Mark Robbins earlier this season, continues to mold his team amid a challenging campaign. With players like Thomas-Asante leading by example, Coventry fans have reason to hope for better results in the weeks to come.
