Michael Chopra’s last-gasp winner saw the Blues to a dramatic 3-2 victory over Coventry at the Ricoh Arena. Town went ahead through a deflected Jay Emmanuel-Thomas shot but allowed the home side back into the game before the break via a Sammy Clingan penalty and Gary Deegan. However, in the second half Chopra followed up Lee Martin’s penalty to equalise, then clinched all three points at the death.

Town came from behind to grab their ninth consecutive home win with a 3-1 victory over Colchester. Clive Platt put the Us ahead in the first half but Jon Walters, Liam Trotter and Danny Haynes won the Blues the points after the break, Neil Alexander having saved a Mark Yeates penalty.
