Thorn targets strikers

by Setanta Staff , 07 February 2012 Thorn targets strikers

Coventry manager Andy Thorn has put strikers at the top of his wishlist when the loan window reopens on Wednesday.


The sale of Lukas Jutkiewicz in the transfer window means Thorn's side are now missing their main goal threat.

He was replaced by Alex Nimely, another loanee from Manchester City, but with Cody McDonald just returning from injury, only Clive Platt and Freddy Eastwood remain.

"I still want to get a couple of strikers on board because you need goals to win games and we don't have that much time to play with," Thorn told the Coventry Telegraph.

The Sky Blues also have defensive woes with Hermann Hreidarsson, Cyrus Christie, Nathan Cameron and Chris Hussey all injured and Thorn admits it is costing them.

"We're a little bit thin at the back just now and to be honest we've conceded a few goals that I wouldn't expect us to in recent games," he added.
