With more than £100 million spent on transfer fees to try to close the gap, the Blues returned to the top flight for the first time in 22 years after back-to-back promotions.
With nine points from their first 14 games (W1 D6 L7), Ipswich is currently in 18th place and appears to be in a mini-league at the bottom with Southampton, West Ham, Everton, Leicester, Crystal Palace, and Wolves.
McKenna stated, “I think it’s proven to be a really, really strong Premier League this season. People who are wiser than me and have been around the league for longer said that they felt that way.”
“I believe that we are under the least amount of pressure. “I would argue that the two teams who came up with us are not your average freshly promoted teams. Southampton is coming off a decade in the Premier League, while Leicester was in Europe a few seasons ago. And generally speaking, the teams that finished in the middle of the table or escaped relegation made an investment.
“I think every team in the division can score points against other teams.We are also included in that mix. We’ve demonstrated that we can compete with almost everyone and deprive the best teams of points.”
After Town defeated Tottenham and drew with Manchester United in November, there was a lot of optimism, but subsequent 1-0 losses to Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace have soured the atmosphere.
“No game can be developed more than any other.
“We simply must give every game our best effort. We’ll see what it gives us in the end after we receive the performances and points that we receive.
Southampton and Wolves, the two teams under Town, also lost badly yesterday night: 5-1 at home against Chelsea and 4-0 at Everton, respectively. In the meantime, Leicester defeated West Ham 3-1 on Tuesday night under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
McKenna claimed, “I have no idea what the other teams’ schedules are.” “At this stage of the season, I have no interest and most likely won’t till the very end. It is entirely focused on us.
