Wednesday's first-half shocker against The Latics could have seen the home side three or four up but to the credit of the away team, they turned it on during a frantic second half.
Luck Beckett, obviously, scored the first goal and Glenn Whelan equalised following great work on the wing from JP McGovern before the Irishman got controversially sent off for a second yellow card.
Sturrock said: "In the first half we were a team of non-believers. There was a 20-minute spell when they totally dominated us and, as I said to the players at half-time, we had a get out of jail card being one 1-0 down.
"But to be fair they responded properly and at least gave the fans something to shout about."
