Ipswich Town faced a setback in their recent match against West Brom, conceding an early goal from a corner, which has become a recurring issue for manager McKenna’s side. Despite the defeat, they maintain a strong position in the league table, sitting second and seven points clear of third-placed Leeds United.
McKenna acknowledged the team’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly from set pieces, emphasizing the need for improvement in defending early in matches. Despite the loss, he remains optimistic about the team’s resilience and their ability to bounce back in upcoming fixtures.
Striker George Hirst echoed McKenna’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of hard work and not taking their league position for granted, especially considering the challenging matches ahead, including the East Anglian derby against Norwich and clashes with Leeds and league leaders Leicester.
The team’s focus now shifts to their next game against Millwall, where they aim to return to winning ways and continue their strong performance in the league. Despite the tough schedule, the players are determined to maintain their position near the top of the table through dedication and hard work.
