ANOTHER equaliser from Theo Robinson ensured Derby County went into the break level at 1-1 against Ipswich Town.
The Tractor Boys took a 24th-minute lead at Portman Road through a goal claimed by former Rams loanee DJ Campbell, though it may go down as a James O'Connor own goal.
The hosts were denied on several occasions by Derby keeper Adam Legzdins before Robinson levelled five minutes before half-time.
Summer signing Michael Jacobs was handed his first Championship start for the Rams after Jeff Hendrick was ruled out by an ankle injury he picked up in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers.
Jacobs lined up wide on the left, allowing Will Hughes to revert to a central role.
Paul Coutts also moved into central midfield, with Theo Robinson wide on the right in a 4-5-1 formation.
Ipswich were quick out of the blocks and went close to opening the scoring inside the first minute.
Lee Martin turned Richard Keogh and saw his low drive parried by Adam Legzdins. The ball broke to Andy Drury but O'Connor did enough to put him off as his effort looped safely over.
Legzdins was called into action again in the fourth minute, turning Aaron Cresswell's 35-yard strike around a post.
A slip by Keogh let Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in after nine minutes but his powerful drive was beaten away by Legzdins and Campbell skied the follow-up.
Derby's first effort on goal came in the 16th minute, Jacobs clipping a 25-yard free kick just wide after Hughes had been fouled by Luke Chambers.
Jacobs then fired straight at Stephen Henderson from distance.
But the Rams fell behind in the 24th minute.
They cleared a free kick but the ball was hooked back into the middle by Lee Martin and Campbell found himself unmarked six yards out.
As he prepared to shoot, O'Connor came across to make a tackle but the ball span away from Legzdins and into the net.
On the half-hour, Emmanuel-Thomas cut in from a tight angle on the right and his fierce strike was blocked by the body of Legzdins.
Martin then brushed the side-netting with a skidding 30-yarder as the home side looked for a second.
However, it was the visitors who equalised against the run of play.
Ipswich keeper Stephen Henderson failed to hold a low angled drive from Conor Sammon and Robinson was on hand to force in the loose ball from close range.
