Did he just say the players got the two managers before him sacked?
Also said the players need to go and have a hard look at themselves.

Sounds as if Thorn has given them the hair dryer treatment.

Chief Commentator!
Some very frank words exchanged here! Unfortunately these honest opinions / interviews will not get you far in management. The players I think will be pretty p****d off with what he's saying, whether its being honest or not!
"this is the most disappointed ive been" - hasnt he said that before?
Did I just hear him say "I dont mind stepping down"??

I too think he may over step the mark with his honesty. No wonder rumours start that players dont like him!
He seems a nice chap, but isnt the man for this job.

Beyond fracking time! Is it now 5 wins in the last 26 or something like that?
OK, we have no loans and no money, but you'd think we had senior players capable of scoring from 1 yard when given the opportunity. Apparently not.
NINE goal attempts tonight. ONE on target! 63% possession at 1 point tonight and we did frack all with it!

Reading between the lines here, Thorn has touched on why 15000 fans have dissapeared in no time at all. Respect is unknown to them.
The players do not give a fuck about us stupid plebs. We keep paying to watch these fucks, they probably all having a good laugh at the 800 or so Cov fans that went to Millwall.

The players must be spending a lot of time in front of the mirror. I swear Thorn is saying they need to take a hard look at themselves every week!

oh thorn... you have to stop saying this:
"We weren't just in with a shout of getting a point at the end of the first-half but we could have gone on and won the game."
ffs Thorn...

From the CT:
FRUSTRATED Coventry City boss Andy Thorn admitted he was at a loss to explain the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of the Sky Blues performance at the Den.
A dire first half from both sides was lit up in the second by former Sheffield United frontman Darius Henderson as he netted in the 53rd and 69th minutes at the Den, Liam Feeney wrapping up the game late on.
The result left the Sky Blues entrenched in the Championship relegation zone - and Thorn fuming.
"I can't understand how we can play the way we did in the first half and turn in that sort of performance in the second," said Thorn.
"That's probably why the players are in this league, because if they were consistent and played the way they did in the first half in the second we would have won the game - I just don't understand it.
"It was like two different sides were playing out there and when people start to think they are individuals you have got problems.
"Our second half performance was unacceptable - to turn in a performance like that was amateurish.
"We had a few chances in that first half, we felt comfortable and we felt we had more gears to go into.
"I'm sick of hearing excuses and people having opinions that aren't right, I know what's right and the players will do what we say or they won't be playing."

It seems that AT is at a loss to know what to do. We know he gets no backing from SISU or the board, but now it looks like the senior players have stopped backing him. If that is the case, we are doomed.

Christ, I hope not. I've had enough of our club giving inexperienced managers lots of money with little to show for it. Neal, McAllister, Strachan, Dowie...etc, etc.

I would like to see him involved somewhere in the first team set up.
