Goalscorer Tommy Smith says Town have to end their recent habit of dropping points from winning positions. The Blues were ahead but failed to claim all three points for the fourth successive game on Saturday as Huddersfield came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Portman Road.
"It has happened far too often and it is something we need to address,” the central defender admitted. "We have to make sure it doesn't happen again.
"We have to try and put our finger on it. We should be in the top six, but it is about putting the points on the board.
"When you have a look at how many points we should have and where we should be it is disappointing.”
Smith, 24, opened the scoring in the 21st minute of Saturday’s game with his first goal of the season: "I didn't know too much about it, I got my head to it but didn't see it actually hit the net.
"Ted [Bishop] needed to put in a delivery because his previous two had hit the first man. We all attack balls in different areas and vary it. I went to the near post that time and it paid off.
"I had another chance, I saw it was going to come back off the post but it came back a bit too sharp for me and I couldn't sort my feet out quickly enough and the keeper's grabbed it.
"Christophe had made it 2-0 and we should see the game out from there. They made a couple of substitutions and they caused us problems but we should have seen it out.”
Smith has often been out of the starting line-up in recent weeks but says he’s just as committed to the cause: "I give 100 per cent the fans know that. I will always be ready whenever I pull that shirt on for Ipswich. I love the club and the fans and I will always give everything.”
Terriers two-goal striker Nahki Wells was pleased to score against a club with whom he had a trial as a 17-year-old.
"It was especially pleased to score after being on trial here,” the Bermudian, now 24, said. "I asked Tommy Smith if he remembered me and he didn’t, but he might now.
"I reminded him I had been on trial but I was very young and I was homesick, so I squandered the opportunity. Ipswich asked me to stay a bit longer.
"It is a fantastic club, so it was great to come back here and get a couple of goals as I could have been here.
"You can't dwell on these things and when I got another opportunity to play in England I took it and things have worked out well.
"Ipswich thought highly of me but I wasn't in the right frame of mind. They wanted me to stay but I just wanted to go back to Bermuda.
"As soon as I landed after the flight home I realised I had done the wrong thing because Ipswich is a fabulous club with great facilities, stadium and fans. I'm just glad I was able to get back at this level."
He added: ”It was great to get a couple of goals, but it was even better to get the draw and keep our good run going.”
Wells’s striker partner Grant Holt was in no doubt that referee Richard Clark was correct to award a penalty when he clashed with Blues skipper Luke Chambers in the 70th minute.
"I have gone for the ball, Chambers has brought me down. He said he didn’t, I said he did, the ref has given it and booked him, so that says it all.”
Holt was booed by the home support due to his Norwich connections, something the 33-year-old frontman was anticipating.
"I expected that warm reception from Ipswich fans, although they weren't too bad in the first half,” he added.
"They gave it to me second half but I don't mind, that's all part of football. I bet a lot of them went home wishing they hadn't chanted ‘Grant Holt, what’s the score?’ because I can tell them now, it was 2-0.”
