O'Leary said: "I never had any doubts about the reception.
"I never had any problems with the fans, as everybody knows. It wasn't them who drove me out.
"During my four years in the job they were fantastic to me and again showed how good they are because the team need their help and they are getting behind them.
"It was a good point, but I know we can play better, although Leeds are a difficult side to play against now.
"The difference recently is because we are starting to score a few more goals and when you do that the three points you pick up really pushes you up the League when you think how tight it is."
