Last updated : 31 March 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Andy Thorn felt that a weight had been lifted off the backs of his team after the Sky Blues recorded their first away league win of the season with a 2-0 victory at Hull City.

Speaking to the Press Association, Thorn who took great delight in celebrating with the City support, said: It has been a long time coming, but it feels like a weight has been lifted off us. 

"If you look at how far adrift we were at one stage, it's an amazing achievement to be where we are now.

"We just want to kick on now. There's a real buzz in the dressing room and we're determined to go on.

"We put in the endeavour and work again today. We've stuck at it and got some real momentum going now, and we'll try to remain unbeaten until the end of the season.

"It was a really mature and very professional performance against a good team.

"I thought it was a 'growing-up' performance'. It was a really solid display and it was a superb day for us.

"We knew they would come out of the traps quickly in both halves, but with the first goal, we have been working on our deliveries from set pieces.

"It was important we stayed strong and solid. I told the players that the game would open up eventually and we'd be able to play a bit more.

"Then Cody's finish was worthy of winning any game."
