  • Frank Lampard described the dramatic comeback as one of his favourite performances since taking charge of Coventry.
  • At Ewood Park, Birmingham City came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to a 90th-minute penalty from Jay Stansfield followed by an injury-time strike from Lyndon Dykes.
  • Chris Davies confirmed Alex Cochrane picked up a slight knock in the Blackburn match and indicated the club will add left-back cover before the transfer deadline.
