On-loan Town striker Frank Nouble returned from injury to score the winner as his loan side Coventry came from 2-0 down to beat Peterborough 3-2 in League One at the Ricoh Arena.
The 23-year-old has been out with a hip problem and was making only his fifth appearance. The goal was his third for the Sky Blues.
"That was massive," Nouble said. "We can use this as the turning point of our season. We left everything out there, we did everything we could that second half, and we got the result.
"It has been frustrating watching the boys play, but I'm glad to be back with a bang. I just thought that if we won the second half we would be in with a chance, we had to turn that first half performance around.
"I just want to help in any way I can. If I can get the goals to move this football club forward then that's what I want to do.”
