Kieran McKenna makes a solid claim in the Ipswich Town vs. QPR match

Finally, it was another frustrating night for Town, who came into the game without the influential quartet of Sam Morsy, Leif Davis, George Hirst, and Wes Burns, before joint-top scorer Nathan Broadhead pulled up injured pre-match, compounding Town’s misery on that front.

McKenna’s side had limited chances to seal their tenth home league win of the season, with the lowly West Londoners producing the best chance of the game when Steve Cook’s header was cleared off the line by former QPR man, Dominic Ball.

Marcus Harness, Freddie Ladapo, and Omari Hutchinson would all be denied by the hugely experienced Asmir Begovic, leaving Ipswich winless on home soil since a 2-1 victory over Coventry City earlier this month.

Kieran McKenna issues reality check following goalless encounter

Even before the start of this season, the Northern Irishman’s management of his team and their appealing style of play had been highly publicized.

On the surface, it appeared that Ipswich were the pre-match favorites for this encounter, despite their troubles in their previous three outings.

Despite Rangers being four points below Huddersfield Town in the relegation zone, McKenna was eager to highlight the experience in Marti Cifuentes’ ranks over his own, despite their opposing goals for the rest of the season.

“It’s the third game in six days following a huge effort (against Leeds and Leicester).” “Players are people,” he explained to the East Anglian Daily Times.

“Of course we could have played better, but my feet are firmly rooted in reality. We’re playing against a QPR team with much more Championship experience. They’re a much more established Championship team than us. We make an awful lot of changes to the team in one go and not many of those were optional. So it was always going to be a difficult game.”
