Boss Roy Keane was hugely frustrated at Town’s failure to take their chances as their trip to Bristol City ended in a 0-0 draw. Pablo Couñago missed the most clear-cut opportunity late on after Grant Leadbitter had hit the post.
Keane said: "I'm hugely frustrated because we had a lot of good chances to win the game and that was the best.
"Pablo should have scored and with that chance coming so late on, it would have put us in a great position, but we should have been ahead at the break anyway, possibly by two goals.
"We are making progress as a team and there were a lot of positives in the performance, but we can't afford to let opponents off the hook.
"I'm happy with a lot of things, but the position we are in requires wins and we should have done better than a point today.
"Now we have a big week coming up with two games and it is essential we take our opportunities against Peterborough on Tuesday night."
Bristol City manager Gary Johnson was pleased to have got the draw with his side below par: "We're disappointed and it's a point gained with how the game went. Dean Gerken had to make some good one-on-one saves and we won't be gloating about a clean sheet.
"We got in on a couple of occasions when Danny Haynes hit the post twice but we didn't really get our game going.
"Ipswich are a difficult side to play against, hence why they've drawn so many away from home.
"We can't be ecstatic about our performance and on the day certain players didn't play that well today. There's also a certain work-rate which I expect from my players and some didn't quite reach that."
