Coventry Round-Up, Monday 26th October: Punjabi Sky Blues Honoured as Official Supporters' Club

A lovely story off the pitch to start with, as Punjabi Sky Blues has been officially recognised as a supporters' club for Coventry City, celebrating both football and heritage within the fanbase (BBC Sport).

On team matters, CoventryLive has been looking at Frank Lampard's selection choices, with so many of last season's squad still being favoured ahead of the players brought in over the summer, raising questions about whether it says more about character than about the club's recruitment (CoventryLive). Lampard himself has addressed one specific selection call, explaining Ellis Simms' absence from the matchday squad, with the manager admitting that leaving players out is the "hardest" part of his job as he weighs up a big decision ahead of the Sunderland game (CoventryLive).

There was also an update on how City's players out on loan are getting on. One Coventry striker is currently top of the scoring charts in Belgium, while Rapha continues to be a regular starter at his loan club, though two other loanees are currently out injured (CoventryLive).
