Speaking to the Sportsynergy Ipswich Town attacker Conor Chaplin has been eager to caution his teammates and supporters that they are still early in the season and haven’t accomplished much.
It’s been a delightful 2023 for the Tractor Boys, who have already
After Paul Cook’s slow start to the 2021/22 campaign following their rebuild, many of their fans will have been fearing that the club would remain in the third tier for some time.
But following Cook’s dismissal, McKenna has come in and proved to be an excellent appointment.
Dy achieved so much under Kieran McKenna, securing automatic promotion with 98 points at the end of last season.
Normally, a point total like that would be more than sufficient to win League One, but Plymouth Argyle edged them out with an incredible 101 points.
Ipswich fans will have been happy with last season, despite McKenna’s team not winning the league title, since they had more than enough time to spend in the third division.
What is the current season record for Ipswich Town?
They made the transition from the third tier to the championship with remarkable ease.
With only one league loss this season—against Leeds United—they have performed remarkably well, with 36 points after 15 league games.
| Championship Top Three | P | GD | Pts | |
| 1 | Leicester City | 15 | 20 | 39 |
| 2 | Ipswich Town | 15 | 14 | 36 |
| 3 | Leeds United | 15 | 10 | 28 |
They may be rather happy with what they have accomplished thus far, especially because they have already faced teams like the Whites, Southampton, and Sunderland, all of whom may be in the running for promotion at the conclusion of this season.
They are frustrated that they have only scored two points out of a possible six in their last two league games, and they will be eager to improve on this. But today, they have the opportunity to resume their winning ways against Swansea City.
Conor Chaplin warning to Ipswich Town?
As revealed in the table above, the Tractor Boys are only one-third of the way through the season.
With this in mind, any talk of promotion is perhaps premature, despite the fact that they are currently eight points above Leeds.
Issuing a warning on this, Chaplin said: “It has probably exceeded expectations… I’d definitely be lying if I said it didn’t.
“But now, in the position we are, it’s just a good start. That’s all it is at the moment, with 15 games in.”
Although the Tractor Boys have performed admirably thus far, they still need to maintain consistency and have as many healthy players as possible. That will not be a simple task.
Additionally, it’s unclear how they’ll react after losing to Rotherham United in the middle of the week, since that result might have taken a toll on them.
However, you have to have hope for Ipswich because they have performed admirably and consistently thus far.
Now they just need to keep going. Whether they can do that remains to be seen, but they certainly have the togetherness needed to secure back-to-back promotions.
