Ipswich Town came from behind to beat Bristol City 3-2 on Tuesday night, as they remained second in the Championship table.
It’s been a brilliant year for the Tractor Boys, who have been transformed since Kieran McKenna’s appointment back in 2021.
Ipswich Town’s promotion chances
He guided the side to promotion from League One in his first full season, and they are looking to repeat the feat 12 months on.
Even though it’s currently in Ipswich’s hands with ten games to go, it’s going to be very difficult for them to keep the pace, as they’re competing with Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton, three clubs who were in the Premier League last season.
That means they’re well ahead of the Suffolk outfit in terms of revenue and squad valuation, whilst many would agree those respective clubs have some standout individuals in the league.
However, Ipswich will fancy their chances, and the spirit among McKenna’s group means nothing can be discounted.
That was evident against the Robins, as they twice came from behind to equalise, and still managed to find a winner despite missing a late penalty.
Ipswich Town’s squad depth could be key
Another factor that could be huge for Ipswich during the run-in is their squad depth.
They may not have the big-money players that their rivals do, but McKenna has built a squad that is deep, and those who are called from the bench can contribute – as they proved in the week.
