Bristol City manager Liam Manning said his side have to "collectively be better" after they were beaten 2-0 at West Bromwich Albion and dropped a place to 12th in the table.
The Robins now have just one league win in their past seven games and are without a victory in four.
"They were better than us in all areas. And we let in two soft goals," Manning told BBC Sport.
"But all of us collectively have to be better. And I look at myself in that. Did I get it right?
"They're very well organised but we lacked energy and aggression and didn't have the quality to break them down.
"And we need to respond on Boxing Day. We can't afford to drift. We need wins."
