Town boss Joe Royle was more annoyed at conceding from Leeds' one serious attempt on goal than he was with the Blues' failure to net a number of chances. The 1-1 draw meant that Town could not take advantage of Wigan's 0-0 draw at home to QPR.
Royle said: "That's another opportunity gone. It's us to a tee because we dominated the game, yet they have had one real attempt at goal and scored.
"We had good chances, great chances and shots blocked, but the biggest disappointment is their goal coming straight after we have scored, which has happened too often to us.
"The reason why we score so many goals and play the way we do is because we have so many forward-thinking players in the team.
"Equally, when the opposition get the ball, we have a number that don't think it's in their contracts to get it back.
"That's the reason why Sunderland are going up -because everyone defends, while not everyone does that in our team.
"That's a statement rather than a moan because they have done terrifically well.
"Wigan need four points from their last two games to go up. We, on the other hand, have to get six and we will see where that takes us."
Midfielder Darren Currie was angry with himself for missing an injury time sitter: "I feel absolutely sick, to be honest.
"I pride myself on my touch and not even to hit the target from there has really left me gutted.
"If the keeper had made a save, then fair enough, but I didn't make him work and that is very disappointing, especially as it would have given us three great points.
"I thought we should have won the game, we were the more positive team, but it's two points gone by and we have to take six points from our last two matches.
"I have always felt that it would go to the last games anyway, but if we can beat Crewe and Brighton, I reckon that will be enough to take us up."
Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell was pleased with his side's approach to the game: "I think people thought we would have our towels on the beach by now.
"But the lads have shown a great attitude and I am proud of them, particularly as we knew Ipswich would take a gamble and come at us.
"I said to the lads at half-time that at some stage Ipswich would go hell for leather to get the win they needed.
"But our two centre-halves, Clarke Carlisle and Matthew Kilgallon, were superb. I don't think Neil Sullivan had a save to make the whole game."
