Chris Coleman appeared to be under some pressure after a slide towards the relegation zone but remained confident that once injury problems eased, his side would move back towards mid-table.
That confidence has proved well-founded in recent weeks, with the goals of Freddy Eastwood firing City to wins against Peterborough United and Plymouth Argyle.
On Saturday it was the turn of Clinton Morrison to be the match-winner when slotting home a late penalty to give Coventry a hard-fought success over Doncaster Rovers.
Morrison came off the bench to score that goal but may start instead of Eastwood on Monday with the former Southend star struggling with illness.
