Ipswich Town Positioned to Thrive After 19th-Place Finish

Ipswich Town appears the strongest of the three newly-promoted clubs for a successful Premier League return. The Tractor Boys ended the 2024-25 season in 19th place. The finish left manager Kieran McKenna's standing largely intact. Ipswich lost 27 points from winning positions during their relegation campaign. The deficit stemmed mainly from an inability to put opposition teams away when ahead. The points lost contributed to the drop that returned the Tractor Boys to the Championship. Recovering those lost points will be essential for any future top‑flight stay. Manager McKenna must improve the team’s ability to close out matches. Success in that area could secure Ipswich Town’s place in the Premier League next season.
