McDermott - We dug in

Leeds United boss Brian McDermott felt his side dug in to come from behind and claim three points at Ipswich Town.
Leeds were under pressure for much of the first half, Ipswich deservedly going ahead through David McGoldrick on twelve minutes, but Luke Varney brought Leeds level just before the half hour and in demand Ross McCormack scored the winner for Leeds early in the second half and McDermott was delighted.
Speaking on the Football League Show, McDermott said, "I thought we dug in. Ipswich played really well for the opening 25 minutes and if they had scored a second goal, we would have been in trouble.
"We changed things around at half time and I thought after the winner from Ross, we did really well."
Leeds have now picked up seven points this season after going behind in games and they are showing a real resilience under Brian McDermott to grind out results.
The win for Leeds moves them into the play-off places at this early stage in the season. Leeds are fifth with eight points from their opening four games, they welcome championship favourites and early pace setters Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road next weekend.
