Hide AdLeeds had 17 attempts at goal compared to Bristol City’s four and five shots on target compared to none from the Robins but O’Leary felt a draw was a “fair” result despite admitting United were always going to present a hard assignment.
"It was a tough game,” said O’Leary. “It was always going to be hard so I think to come away with a point is probably fair.
"We didn't have massive chances but then again neither did they so we were pretty comfortable without the ball and we knew it was going to be like that. It was a good performance and something to build on."

We want to make it a hard place to come and make it hard for teams to take points home."
