Bristol City will give under-pressure head coach Michael Skubala the chance to improve their results, particularly at home, says chief executive Charlie Boss.
The Robins have lost their past four Championship matches at Ashton Gate, culminating in last Saturday's 5-0 drubbing by Norwich City which left them in 17th place.
"The game against Norwich was a long way short of our standards and in the days that followed there have been a lot of tough and honest conversations around the building," said Boss in a video message on the club website.
"Earlier this week the board met and we agreed to give Michael Skubala the opportunity to turn around the home form."
Skubala led Lincoln City to the League One title last season before joining Bristol City on a three-year-deal in May.
However, a run of only two wins from their past 10 matches has led to supporters voicing their concerns.
"A lot of fans made their feelings known loud and clear at Ashton Gate on Saturday and I want them to know everybody shares their frustration from the owners, the board and the players," added Boss.
"Michael Skubala more than anyone knows we need to improve - we wouldn't have made this decision if we didn't believe that together we can get through this difficult period."
Bristol City's next Championship match is at second-placed Middlesbrough on Saturday, 21 November (15:00 GMT) before home games against Wrexham and Swansea sandwich a trip to West Bromwich Albion.
