@oppikk88: With Ipswich Town starting to pick up more points, what are their chances of survival and also the chances of keeping Kieran McKenna?

Morning. I think Ipswich Town will feel they have a real chance of staying up if they can continue their recent improvement.

They may not be a household name team in the Premier League, but they are very well coached and organized by Kieran McKenna.

Obviously, the better they do, the more eyes will be cast in the direction of a leader who is already much admired.

However, this is for the future. For now, he and Ipswich will focus fully on survival.
