Leeds United dropped points in the Championship again yesterday, drawing 1-1 with Ipswich Town at Portman Road.

It was a tough game for Garry Monk’s side, who were fortunate to come away with a point from the game.

Ipswich played well throughout and took an early lead from Freddie Sears. Leeds were eventually thankful for Stuart Dallas, who scored an equalising goal.

It was not however the best of performances from Leeds, who struggled to counter Ipswich’s combative playing style on a bobbly pitch at Portman Road.

One player who put it well was Eunan O’Kane. The Irish international took to Twitter after the game to send this message to fans, admitting the performance was below-par, but getting the point could prove vital:

Leeds’ next opponents are Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday, who moved level on points with them after a 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest yesterday.

The level of performance from Leeds will need to improve if they are to get the better of the Owls next week.

But the fact the players clearly know more is needed can only be a positive sign.
