Ipswich Town are currently in a slump, with the final round of Championship matches in 2023 taking place on Friday night.
While the fixture list wasn’t kind to Kieran McKenna’s side, as they faced promotion rivals Leeds United and Leicester City back-to-back after a thrilling East Anglian Derby with Norwich City on December 16th, many would have seen their most recent meeting with Queens Park Rangers as an ideal opportunity to get back on track.
As we approach 2024, the distance between second and third place has been drastically narrowed as a result of contrasting recent outcomes for Town and promotion rivals Southampton.
