Not the time to look at the league table - McKenna

Ipswich Town head coach Kieran McKenna believes there are still too many games remaining in the season to be looking at the Championship table.

The Suffolk side are in fourth place, six points short of the top two, as they prepare to face Swansea City at Portman Road on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

"I think there's still such a long way to go. I know it feels closer and everyone's waiting for that last bit but there's still nearly a third of the season left," McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.

"It's an awful lot of games. I don't think we're even right in the spell yet of the last bit of the season."

Ipswich got back to winning ways by beating Watford 2-0 at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night as they seek an immediate return to the Premier League.

"We're in a spell of seven games in 21 days and we have to focus on each one and our performances, delivering performances and getting the best result we can," added McKenna.

"It's not the time to be thinking about the league table at all. Probably when we get to the international break and there are eight games left in a short space of time you probably have a look at where we're at and think about what the run-in might look like."

Ipswich will have defender Leif Davis back for the visit of Swansea after he missed the victory over Watford but 10-goal forward Jaden Philogene remains sidelined with a knee injury.
