LATEST NEWS: Former Norwich City player Darren Huckerby has asserted something related to Ipswich Town.
Darren Huckerby has shared his assessment of Ipswich Town’s efforts to secure promotion.
The intense battle for promotion sees Ipswich Town fighting desperately for a top two finish. Former Norwich City legend Darren Huckerby has lauded Ipswich’s resilience and determination, praising their stunning comeback wins and impressive league position under manager Kieran McKenna. As the Norwich vs Ipswich rivalry heats up, Huckerby’s acknowledgment of Ipswich’s success may stir envy among Canaries fans, potentially setting the stage for a dramatic promotion battle between the two clubs.
Ipswich’s recent dramatic late win, overcoming deficits to secure a 3-2 victory at Portman Road, exemplifies their determination to reclaim a Premier League spot after last year’s promotion from League One. Huckerby, setting aside his allegiance to Norwich, has commended McKenna’s managerial prowess, emphasizing that Ipswich’s rise to the top of the Championship table is no stroke of luck but a result of their attacking approach and consistent pressure on opponents.
Although Norwich supporters may feel disappointed to see one of their former stars praising a rival, they cannot deny the impressive progress Ipswich has made over the past year. McKenna’s leadership has garnered widespread acclaim, guiding Ipswich to a second-place finish in League One last season and now positioning them for another top-tier promotion challenge in the Championship.
Ipswich Town league position
| Championship Table (As it stands March 6th) | ||||
| Team | P | GD | Pts | |
| 1 | Leicester City | 36 | 41 | 81 |
| 2 | Ipswich Town | 36 | 26 | 78 |
| 3 | Leeds United | 36 | 38 | 76 |
| 4 | Southampton | 35 | 24 | 70 |
| 5 | West Brom | 35 | 18 | 59 |
| 6 | Hull City | 36 | 7 | 57 |
| 7 | Norwich City | 35 | 9 | 55 |
| 8 | Coventry City | 36 | 15 | 54 |
Currently occupying the second spot in the table, Ipswich finds themselves just three points behind leaders Leicester City with 10 games left in the season. Leeds United trails closely in third place, only two points behind Ipswich, while Southampton is six points adrift but with a game in hand. Having last competed in the Premier League in 2002, Ipswich aims to break a 22-year absence from the top flight by securing promotion this season. Their next challenge under manager McKenna is an away fixture against Cardiff City on March 9th.
Despite Norwich’s historical dominance over Ipswich, regularly featuring in the Premier League while Ipswich languished in League One, McKenna’s adept management has seen a reversal in fortunes for the Tractor Boys. Ipswich now finds themselves ahead of Norwich in the English football hierarchy, a shift that may stir envy among Norwich supporters if Ipswich secures promotion this year. However, Norwich still has the opportunity to join Ipswich in the Premier League through the playoffs or even potentially compete directly with them for the third promotion place, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the campaign.
Putting aside the fierce rivalry between the two clubs, McKenna’s commendable work at Portman Road this season is evident and deserving of praise.
