Boss Kieran McKenna has provided his take on whether a Hull City draw was a missed chance for his Ipswich Town side in their Leeds United battle.
Third-placed Ipswich went into Saturday evening’s Championship clash at Hull knowing that a victory would put them on the verge of automatic promotion by sending them second and two points clear of Leeds – and with an additional fixture still to play. Ipswich, though, were held to a 3-3 draw which has kept McKenna’s side behind Leeds in third, level on 90 points but with a minus seven worse goal difference.
We’ll take the positives and we’ll move on to Tuesday night.” As far as Tuesday’s clash at Coventry is concerned, even a point for Ipswich would put their automatic promotion destiny in their own hands over Leeds for the final day. That, admits McKenna, is the clear plan, even if it means just a draw at Coventry. “That’s the goal, for sure,” said McKenna. “We knew coming into today we needed five points.
