Enciso Strike Rescues Point for Ipswich at Hull
Julio Enciso was the hero once again as Ipswich came away from the MKM Stadium with a hard-fought point, drawing 2-2 with Hull City.
The Guardian reports that Ipswich dominated possession for large spells of the first half, with Enciso's strike proving crucial in securing the draw (The Guardian). Sky Sports echoes the significance of the goal, describing it as a "stunning" effort from the Paraguayan that denied Hull all three points and extended the Tigers' winless run, though there's a slight discrepancy in the numbers - Sky Sports puts the run at seven games without a win, while The Guardian says eight (Sky Sports) (The Guardian).
Both outlets agree that Hull maintained their unbeaten home record despite the result, suggesting Ipswich had to work hard for their share of the spoils on the road (The Guardian) (Sky Sports). For Ipswich fans, the real story is Enciso's growing influence in the side - this appears to be becoming something of a habit for the on-loan attacker.
That form and flair has clearly caught the eye of the Ipswich management too. The Ipswich Star reports that head coach O'Neil has been discussing his approach to getting the best out of Enciso, with the message being to "embrace the flair" rather than rein it in (Ipswich Star). It's an interesting insight into how the club are looking to build their attacking play around the Paraguayan's natural instincts.
With a point secured away from home, Ipswich will now turn their attention to a home clash with AFC Bournemouth on Sunday 8 November. If Enciso can carry this kind of form into that fixture, Town fans will have every reason for optimism.
