Morrison and Simpson on target in 2-0 win
Coventry returned to form at the Ricoh Arena with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
Clinton Morrison opened the scoring from Guillaume Beuzelin's cross early on and Sheffield Wednesday were unable to hit back in a lively first half.
Robbie Simpson then secured all three points, and a first home win in eight attempts, with a goal in the 82nd minute.
Marcus Tudgay had the first sight of goal after two minutes, but the Sheffield Wednesday forward fired wide from 12 yards out.
Coventry then took the lead in the 11th minute through Morrison. Midfielder Beuzelin found room on the left and fed the ball in to the 29-year-old striker who calmly finished from six yards out.
Tudgay attempted to hit back immediately but failed to hit the target from 20 yards and McAllister was denied by a fantastic save from Coventry goalkeeper Kieren Westwood.
Aron Gunnarsson could have extended Coventry's advantage but his header from close range was too weak to trouble Lee Grant.
Threat
Tudgay continued to be Wednesday's greatest goal threat. But as Sheffield Wednesday's radar got closer to the target Coventry's resistance got more formidable.
First Michael Doyle made a crucial block from Tudgay and then Westwood saved from Wade Small midway through the second half.
Just a minute later Wednesday's Grant replicated Westwood's efforts in goal as he parried Doyle's left-footed shot.
The two goalkeepers continued to maintain the scoreline and Grant parried wide as Michael Mifsud let fly from 20 yards.
Gunnarsson once again had the opportunity to calm Coventry's increasing nerves but again his heading ability left much to be desired.
Although both sides were creating chances they were struggling to find a way past the respective defences and Grant again proved his worth for the visitors by saving from Leon Best's right-footed effort to keep his team in the hunt.
But any aspirations for a point were shattered when Best had his revenge in the 82nd minute when he set up Simpson to fire home from 12 yards out.
