Thorn deflated by loss
Coventry caretaker boss Andy Thorn was disappointed after his side let a point slip in a 2-1 away defeat at Preston North End.
Nathan Ellington was the match-winner for North End, volleying home a stoppage-time winner after Coventry's David Bell had equalised Iain Hume's first-half opener.
"It is really frustrating for us to have come so close to a point. Preston are well organised but I think we deserved more for the way we came back at them in the second half," Thorn said.
"They pressed us in the first half but I wanted the boys to be brave and keep trying to play, which I felt they did.
"We tweaked things a bit in the second half and we started to get a foothold in the game. When we scored we opened up a bit more and I was starting to think that maybe we could nick it, but to concede the way we did was a kick in the teeth."
As for the search for a new Sky Blues manager, Thorn added: "I'm just getting on with the job and we'll see what comes, but the most important thing is getting the boys playing and we are certainly not giving up any ghosts in the dressing room."
