Thorn - More to come from Us.

Andy Thorn has said that there is more to come from his Coventry City side following their 2-0 win over Watford.

City had some good spells against the Hornets in a match which could have finished in a high-scoring affair if the woodwork and an assistant referee had not intervened and Thorn told the CT: "I am really pleased with how we have played. We have two or three more gears to go yet.

"I know there's more to come.
"I was delighted with the way we played in spells. Everything we worked on, they did.
"It was a bit nervy at the start which I thought we would be because of our recent record here but we grew into the game.​

"Everything we have worked on in training, they stuck at and as the game went on, I thought we played some really good stuff.​

"We played against a really good side. Watford are really well organised and are going for the play-offs.
"We just changed our system a little bit from what we had done previously."​

Andy Thorn for manager!!! 2 best pasing displays of the season in his 3 games in charge, what can he and Harrision do with longer on the training ground with these players? Clearly a smashing bloke and a good motivater-I can feel that Crazy Gang teamspirit already, the goal celebrations were almost as good as the goals!

I said all along we probably won't get an effective manager by design ( see the past 10 years ), only by luck-like with Eric Black. Or George and John! Plenty have made the Sillett comparison with Thorn, it was the first thing that came to mind when hearing him after Burnley, and the more he speaks the more that rings true.

Thorn also commands respect-I wouldn't mess with him, and most strikers who did in his playing career soon regretted it!

Echo the above. If he can get the best out of players and create some togetherness who knows where it may take us. We had some stars in 87 like Cyrille but many were average players and it was the collective which was more important. If Thorn can galvanise and has the respect of the squad and has the ability to motivate them, then we can get some momentum. He certainly has my backing. He knows the players and will not want wholesale changes, we have little money to spend so we may aswell give him a go because big names have failed time after time here.

Don't want to get carried away too quickly but maybe there are other parallels.

Whilst Cyrille was the big name player at the club, Don McKay had the team playing high balls to him, which was not his strength. George & John changed the style so that the ball was played to his feet and as a result he became much more efffective.

David Bell has always had quality imo but a wide player with little pace will have little to offer a team that plays a direct ball. I thought it was his best game for City on Saturday, time will tell if it is a one-off or if he can perform consistently at that level.

Forgive me for being a realist but I have lost count of the false dawns at this club. Lets look again at the end of the season.

I'll agree that i like what i've heard him saying and i loved what i saw on Saturday, but let's not get too carried away. It's early days yet, and we were pretty horrible at Preston! Although, granted, we've had more time on the training field since then, so let's see how the next few games pan out. If we can keep up Saturday's level of performance through to the end of the season i'd without doubt get behind Thorn as the full-time boss.
I was very much singing "ANDY THORN'S SKY BLUE ARMY" on Saturday and will keep doing so as long as his team are turning out performances and results like that!
