Ipswich Town are reportedly prepared to back head coach Kieran McKenna despite a worrying start to the Premier League campaign.
At the Gtech Community Stadium in West London on Saturday afternoon, Brentford easily defeated the Tractor Boys 4–3.
As a result, Ipswich joined Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers as the three teams that have yet to experience success after their winless streak at the start of the top flight campaign grew to nine games.
As a result, the Tractor Boys are currently two points behind Crystal Palace in 17th place in the Premier League rankings, in 18th place.
When freshly promoted Leicester City visits Portman Road on Saturday, McKenna’s team will have a huge opportunity to earn their first maximum of the season.

Ipswich ‘make McKenna sack decision’
After the heartbreaking loss at Brentford last time out, Ipswich has made a decision regarding McKenna’s short-term future, according to Football Insider.
According to the article, the club’s executives continue to support the Northern Irishman in spite of his top-flight newcomers’ difficult start to the season.
After taking Ipswich from League One to the Premier League in consecutive seasons, McKenna is reportedly very proud of himself.
As they wait for their first win, the Tractor Boys’ leadership is thought to think that their players haven’t been lucky in games thus far.
McKenna guided Ipswich to second in the Championship last term behind Saturday’s opponents Leicester, collecting 96 points from 46 second-tier contests.
Positive signs for Ipswich
Even if Ipswich hasn’t won yet as the November international break draws near, there are still plenty of reasons to be hopeful at Portman Road.
Liam Delap, who signed a permanent contract with the Premier League over the summer after leaving Manchester City, has adapted well to the league, scoring five goals in nine games thus far.
Despite the dismal start, the team has managed some decent draws, including points against Champions League leaders Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion.
