Town boss Roy Keane felt the Blues deserved their 1-0 victory over Barnsley but admitted that his side weren’t at their best.
Keane said: "It was a decent victory. To win without playing particularly well, we'll take that all day.
"It wasn't pretty but we'll have to take it, particularly given our position in the league - beggars can't be choosers.
"We started well, we had two or three good chances and it was a good goal that won it. Not a classic, but a good goal in the way Pablo showed a great work ethic and chased down a lost cause and that's what we want our strikers to do.
"Pablo and Daryl linked up well in the first half and we kept a clean sheet at the other end against a decent side. They are not on the edge of the play-offs for nothing.
"There has been too much talk this week, some silly headlines and criticism of two or three players. We're all in this together and I don't ask any more of my players than what I know they can produce.
"It would have been lovely to get a second goal and it would have settled the team down but it wasn't to be.
"We got an honest performance from them and that's all I can ever ask for. Whether we won or lost, it didn't really matter to me. All I wanted was an honest performance and I was content with the players.
"That's our second successive 1-0 win at home and that's always a good result."
Barnsley manager Mark Robins was embarrassed by Town’s winner: "We gave them a stupid goal. It was a comedy of errors and not one we want to repeat.
"He [keeper Luke Steele] can't explain it. He made a bad, poor decision to come out and then he left the ball on the touchline.
"After that he was always going to struggle to get back in goal. What we saw was a hot head. We shot ourselves in the foot. It was an embarrassing goal and something you rarely see.
"We're normally organised, fairly resolute and hard to break down, but today there was no doubt we gave them the goal.
"We didn't get started and were second best all over the park in the first half. Ipswich were hungrier and more energetic.
"In the second half we came out and had a go, but we'd already shot ourselves in the foot by then. It's not good enough and we've got to change that mindset.
"We had chances in the second half and huffed and puffed, but it was all about desire.
"Someone's got to want to go and put the ball in the back of the net. There were chances there but we just didn't take them. We were powder-puff."
