It sounds like an absurd thing to suggest – especially if you are one of those football pundits who predict that Leicester and Leeds will go up automatically, but could Town take the Championship title against all the odds? In this league, anything is possible!

And what is the cause for such optimism? That astonishing 6-0 win on Saturday against Sheffield Wednesday, or the fact that as things stand, Ipswich are just one point off the leaders! Whatever happens now, it has been a truly amazing season again, and few of us would have thought that we would be almost guaranteed a play-off place at the very least. This is a remarkable time to be an Ipswich Town supporter, and long may it continue. McKenna has had an incredible 57.7 % win success rate since he took over.

There is no denying that we still have some tough fixtures ahead of us, but so do our rivals, and there are bound to be many more twists and turns before the season’s end.My only worry is if the second automatic promotion spot is decided by goal difference. Leeds and Leceister are in a much better position there, but we did reduce it a bit with that fabulous 6-0 thrashing of the Owls at the weekend. Leeds are probably the favourites to take the title now, but let’s not forget, the Foxes were light years ahead of everyone until very recently, and now they find themselves one point ahead of Town with a game in hand. This league often defies football logic so there is still hope.
