Ellis Simms Resurgence Boosts Frank Lampard and Coventry City Playoff Hopes

Coventry City striker Ellis Simms has found his form under Frank Lampard, scoring four goals in his last six games. After struggling at the start of the season under former manager Mark Robins, Simms has cemented his place in the starting XI since Lampard’s arrival. The 24-year-old's resurgence has coincided with Coventry City's rise from 15th to 7th in the Championship, now just one point behind West Brom in the playoff race.

Ahead of the Championship play-off race, Coventry City striker Ellis Simms has found top form under Frank Lampard, scoring four goals in his last six games. The 24-year-old had a slow start to the season but has since secured his place in the starting XI, helping Coventry climb from 15th to 7th in just seven games.

Simms, who previously played under Lampard at Everton, scored a crucial brace, including a 92nd-minute winner, in Coventry’s 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday. Lampard praised Simms’ dedication and resilience, noting his quiet yet determined nature.

Since joining Coventry from Everton last season, Simms has been a key player, scoring 13 league goals in his debut campaign. With his recent resurgence, he aims to surpass that tally this season. His previous loan spells at Blackpool, Hearts, and Sunderland saw him net over 20 goals collectively, and his current form could be crucial in Coventry’s promotion push. Now just one point behind West Brom in the play-off spots, Coventry City’s hopes rest on Simms maintaining his scoring streak.
