Coventry's new manager Andy Thorn hailed his team after matching in-form Reading in a goalless draw. Thorn took over the reins at the Midlands side on Thursday after leading the Sky Blues to safety as caretaker. He said: "I don't feel any different. I am a proud man but I don't feel any added pressure. "I thought we were great again against a very good Reading team. That's the first game we haven't scored in since I took over but that wasn't down to finishing - there was some very good goalkeeping. "The only thing missing was a goal but we pitted our wits against a really good side, one of the form teams. We acquitted ourselves really well and, as nil-nils go, it was a terrific game. "There is something to build on here and you saw that from the reception the supporters gave us at the end of the game. These have been really tough tests in a nine game run and we've come through them with flying colours."
