With Coventry City riding high and 10 points clear at the top of the Championship, we asked if you're confident the Sky Blues will win promotion to the Premier League.

We also asked what could possibly stop Frank Lampard's side this season. Here's some of your responses:

Andrew: Cov are the best team in the league on and off the field, the feel is different than other seasons. We have gained from Lampard's experience of winning. Being a City fan this season is living a footballing dream.

Chris: January will be massive for us. Injuries are starting to seep in, and really we need to get ahead of the game and make signings in anticipation of going up. If we are still top by New Year and have a gap of at least 6-8 points, then I'll start to believe.

Andy: While there is still a lot of football to be played, this is a team who have great rapport with the manager, the fans and with each other. While the football is excellent: positive and a pleasure to watch, the off the field progress has been remarkable: the purchase of the stadium, the investment in the training ground and the match day experience. It really feels like it's going to be our year.

Stephen: Hopefully we can avoid too many injuries as we have a small squad. If we can then I believe we will get automatic promotion.

Geri: After watching us the last 24 years through relegations, promotions, numerous near misses and management changes, I am really feeling positive about our chances this season. I was sceptical about Frank Lampard taking over, but I am happy to say that I was completely wrong about him. Our achievements to date have been nothing but amazing, and I am really hopeful that we can finally get the promotion we deserve this season and we can finally resume our place in the Premier League.

Luke J: We desperately need reinforcements in January otherwise Doug King is going to look very silly and we'll be lucky to make the play-offs with the lack of depth in the squad once injuries start to roll in.

Warren: They are amazing and playing the type of football that we all like to see. However, what will stop them is injury. They haven't got the largest squad so a couple of bad injuries could seriously stop their season. Hopefully this won't happen! I still think that they will at least still reach the play-offs.

Marek: I am confident that Cov can finally thrust themselves into the Premier League with Frank Lampard. What concerns me most is the coming transfer window and the team being split apart by Premier League approaches on our first team players.
