Town boss Mick McCarthy says neither he nor owner Marcus Evans ever panicked during the Blues’ poor run of form during September and October.
A run of just one win in 10 league games led to frustration on the terraces and even calls for a change of manager from some quarters.
But Town returned to winning ways at the start of November and are now unbeaten in their last six matches, having won their last two away games by three-goal margins.
Saturday’s 3-0 win at Charlton saw the Blues climb to seventh in the Championship on 28 points, behind Birmingham in the final play-off place on goal difference alone.
"It’s just as well I don’t get too high or too low and my owner Marcus Evans doesn’t get too high or too low and we’re consistent in what we’re doing,” McCarthy said.
"I certainly had belief in the squad and what we’re doing and he does too. So, for all the background noise that goes on, and I understand it if we don’t win when we’re expected to, we’ve just kept plodding along.”
November has proved to be a profitable month for the Blues in the last couple of years.
Last season they took 13 points out of 15 and this year 10 from a possible 12. At this stage in 2014/15 Town were three points better off than they are now in fourth.
The win at Charlton - Town’s fourth on the trot at The Valley - saw the Blues end their run of 11 live Sky games without a victory.
They take on Middlesbrough at Portman Road on Friday in the second of three successive matches in front of the cameras with the visit to the MK Dons the following weekend also being screened live.
This afternoon’s scheduled U21s game at home to Colchester United has switched to Monday 18th January.
