Coventry City boss Frank Lampard says his side's focus is on getting promoted to the Premier League after their FA Cup defeat.
The Sky Blues boss made eight changes for the 1-0 defeat at Stoke City with debuts for Romain Esse and Yang Min-Hyeok.
Lamine Cisse's late wonder goal fired Stoke City into the fourth round to leave Coventry to concentrate on their six-point lead at the top of the Championship.
"It was a pretty tight game on the face of it," told BBC CWR.
"I think we played the better football, had a lot of possession and some really good individual performances with eight changes and the new boys coming in.
"That had to happen today because we need to see the new boys play - it's good for them to get minutes and for some players that haven't played so regularly.
"We wanted to win the game, we had incredible support today, everyone wants a run in the FA Cup and it's disappointing not to be there but it shows where our focus is now and it's on 20 league games."
