Julio Enciso – 6.7

Worked mostly on the left-hand side of his team side, Enciso had one shot on target and won one ground duel.

Jacob Greaves -7.6

One of the busiest Ipswich players on the pitch as he worked hard intercepting and clearing the ball from his area.

Dara O’Shea – 8.1

Another reason why Ipswich snatched a point from their away visit to Amex. O’Shea was bobbing and weaving to defend his team and kept the clean sheet which he did.

Worked hard down the flank to put more pressure on the opponents. However, the goal just never came as multiple chances were denied or went off the target.

Had the same case with Chaplin as both players came at the same time. Luongo won one duel during his nine-minute appearance on the pitch.

Not a bad performance from the York-born delivering one accurate long pass from one attempt and one shot that went off target.
