Ipswich Town manager Paul Jewell has insisted that he still believes in his players despite their poor start to the season.

The Tractor Boys have won only one of their opening six matches in the Championship which has left them 23rd in the league table, but Jewell has insisted that his club are not far from turning things around.

Jewell told BBC Radio Suffolk: "I believe in the group of players we've got. We're just a goal away from winning games and things looking rosier.

"It's a tough time for us at the moment, but no-one is playing us off the park.

"But I'm a big boy and I'm aware it's not been a good start."
