Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Taylor asserts they’ll take an offensive approach against Coventry City on Tuesday, even though securing just a point would place Championship promotion within their grasp.
As they prepare for their final away fixture of the season, Ipswich Town finds themselves trailing second-placed Leeds United on goal difference. Their upcoming clash with Coventry City serves as their game in hand before both teams conclude their campaigns on Saturday. Jack Taylor, speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk, expressed the team’s eagerness to play and their unwavering focus on the task at hand. Aware of the significance of the match, Taylor emphasized their commitment to pursuing victory, sticking to their playing style and principles which have served them well throughout the season.
Looking ahead to their last home game against Huddersfield Town, Ipswich knows that a draw would secure their promotion to the Premier League if they win against Coventry, or outright victory if they draw. However, defeat would see them fall behind Leeds due to an inferior goal difference, necessitating a better result than Leeds in their final home fixture against Southampton. Taylor reflected on the significance of potentially securing promotion at home, acknowledging the loyal support of the fans throughout the season.
Taylor also praised the calm demeanor of manager Kieran McKenna, highlighting his consistent approach and leadership throughout the season. As they aim for promotion, Taylor emphasized the special bond within the team, noting that while he had experienced promotions before, there was something uniquely special about this group of players.
