Lee Clark claims that Birmingham City are boring the club's supporters with their first-half performances.

Birmingham City manager Lee Clark has claimed that his team's first-half performances are boring the club's supporters.

Fans jeered the home side at the end of Saturday's loss to Ipswich Town and Clark revealed that he shares their frustrations.

"We're creating a negative attitude around the stadium with our first-half performances," Clark said. "We're starting [home] games - certainly Barnsley, Huddersfield and today - so flat that the crowd become apprehensive and a bit bored to be honest with you because they're not getting dished up any quality or drive.

"Then they do it in the second half. But why? Why not do it from the first whistle?

"I like continuity and I try to keep the same team but, with the exception of one or two, there aren't many putting down markers week in, week out to hold down a regular place in the team."

Clark's side are currently 18th in the Championship.
