Frank Lampard said the reality of Coventry City's title-winning promotion back to the Premier League has now sunk in.
The Sky Blues sealed their return to the top flight for the first time in 25 years with a draw at Blackburn on 17 April before clinching the Championship title at home with a 5-1 thumping of Portsmouth four days later.
Sunday’s victory over Wrexham at the CBS Arena was a chance for the Sky Blues’ fans to enjoy their celebrations at home and Lampard said that what they achieved had finally hit them.
"We're fortunate that we've had a few occasions to celebrate it now, away from home, at home twice. But it really sunk in at the weekend," he told BBC CWR.
"It was a fantastic opportunity for the fans to just purely enjoy it and I think they enjoyed the performance.
"But the realisation kicks in, it's quite surreal when you do something like this. I think with the situation of our club and the history, and even what we thought we might have at the start of the season to what the boys have absolutely produced is quite surreal, but now it's a reality."
Coventry go to Watford aiming to round off their campaign with a 28th win and their 11th in their past 15 games.
One more clean sheet would also guarantee on-loan goalkeeper Carl Rushworth the Golden Glove award – an accolade he is already sure of sharing, at least, with Ipswich Town's Christian Walton, who is one behind on 15.
"He's been an outstanding player for us," Lampard said. "He's brought consistency, calmness, level of quality, a professional training ethic.
"I know he's been on loan to different clubs, but the feeling of a Premier League player, how they train, how they act – he's brought a really professional nature to the club and he's been big for us.
"So I hope he gets that clean sheet award, whether he shares it or whether he wins it. I want him to win it because he's our player and he deserves it."
