Young players must make themselves leaders - Lampard

Coventry boss Frank Lampard has dismissed any perception that his young squad lacks leadership.

Experienced players including Kyle McFadzean, Liam Kelly and Matty Godden have all left the club over the past 12 months.

"I think that's an easy conclusion, I think leadership as a sense has changed over the years," Lampard said.

"It's always easy to hark back 15 years and go, 'oh there were leaders everywhere' it's not always the case.

"The young men here have to make themselves leaders too. We're young but we're not babies. Players have to take responsibility.

"That's something to assess I guess going forward but I should be a leader, Ben Sheaf will be a leader so will Jake Bidwell but also so will the younger players in the team. They have to grow into that."
