Ipswich Town’s excellent start to life back in the Championship doesn’t look to be stopping anytime soon.
Kieran McKenna’s men sit in second place, five points adrift of Leicester City with a game in hand, and have only lost one game so far in the league.

It is still very early in the campaign, but Ipswich fans will be dreaming of what could possibly happen this season if their performances continue in this way.
While Ipswich prepare for their next encounter, here we have looked at the latest news coming out of the football club…
Kieran McKenna issues a warning to Ipswich Town players
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has warned his players that things can quickly change in football after their impressive start to the 2023/24 season.
As mentioned, the Tractor Boys are sitting in the automatic places and have won 11 of the 13 league games they have played so far.
There is only Leicester City, who are ahead of Ipswich, and while many think they are among the favourites for promotion, McKenna wants to keep his players grounded.
He said, via Suffol News: “I think the halfway point in the season is a natural point to take stock.
“But then, even having said that, there are lots of teams in the history of the Championship who go on to have a storming second half of the season, and there are teams who’ve been at the top of the Championship who go on to have a very different second half of the season.
“Every manager’s probably different, teams will be looking at it in a different way, but my belief, my experience, is that things can change very, very quickly, and it’s not too wise to look too much past your next performance.”
Leif Davis reaction to Ipswich Town’s win over Plymouth Argyle
Ipswich’s Leif Davis has revealed that it was nice for them to get “one over” Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, as the Tractor Boys picked up all three points.
Ipswich failed to beat the Pilgrims last season, but they put that to bed on Saturday, as goals from George Hirst and Marcus Harness after Bali Mumba’s own goal were enough to seal a 3-2 win.
Davis was important in their promotion campaign last season and has continued to be in this one, and it seems the fact they didn’t beat Plymouth was not forgotten by Davis.
