Bristol City manager Derek McInnes has admitted that his side's current form is not good enough following Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Ipswich Town.

The result means that City have only picked up one point from their last six games, a run that has left them hovering perilously close to the relegation zone, and McInnes acknowledges that his side may be lacking confidence.

"Clearly the best team won. Ipswich were the better team in the first half and we were fortunate to only be 1-0 down [at half time]. But we kept their better players quiet in the second half, got the ball forward quicker and the game was more evenly poised," said McInnes.

"It was a case of whoever scored the second goal. When Ipswich got it, it was always going to be difficult for us.

"One point from six games is poor form from our point of view and we need to generate confidence and belief."

Bristol City currently sit 21st in the Championship, just three points above the relegation zone.
