Norwich City head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup told BBC Radio Norfolk:

“I’ve praised it before this season, I’m really pleased with the mentality and the team spirit of the young guys here – they keep on fighting, keep believing, keep chasing a goal.

“They did it last week [to beat Luton] and against QPR here at home [to draw], and they did it again today.

“So of course that is the positive side, but the more negative one is that we need to see how we can avoid being 1-0 down in a game that we dominate – but that is probably for tomorrow, not today.

“When you work in football every day and spend so many hours in it, then of course moments like today are the moments you have to celebrate and really enjoy.”

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard told BBC Radio Coventry & Warwickshire:

“We are all rightly disappointed with the result, but I take a lot out of it – the character of the performance. Sometimes you just have to take these ones on the chin.

“Unfortunately, in a way, football happens. And we could always look at what we could have done to stop it. The first goal, it’s nothing because it’s a great finish and the second, yes, but the players gave everything.

“We did a lot of good things in the game. We’ve had lots of possession in the games we’ve had so far and today it was less so because we know they are a possession team, so we set up [for that] and the players did everything right until the last few minutes.”
