Ipswich Town are well-placed to challenge for promotion back into the Premier League at the first time of asking under the watchful eye of manager, Kieran McKenna.

The Tractor Boys are in with a serious chance of challenging for the automatic promotion places in the Championship, and if they can continue to retain Portman Road as a fortress, then you'd be brave to back against them returning to the Premier League.

Ipswich have a strong squad at this level, and the Portman Road faithful will be expecting their side to hold their nerve in the race for promotion this term.

'We've clearly got an issue if we go back into the Premier League'

With all the positives currently attached to Ipswich, it's tough to find many reasons to be cautious or downbeat ahead of what could be a potential return to the top-flight.

Football League World's Ipswich Town fan pundit, Adam Wilkin weighed in with his verdict on an off-field issue that is currently surrounding the club, although he was pleased to see the owners making positive steps towards resolving the problem for the future.

"The only kind of off-pitch issue that I could think of is the infrastructure, and that's something that the new ownership have been trying to address for a while. "Given the size that the club want to be, then we've clearly got an issue if we go back into the Premier League with stadium capacity. There's been a lack of investment under the Marcus Evans era which the new ownership have been trying to address with the new training facilities that are coming soon and being built. "There are historic issues that are still playing out, but I'm excited and think the board have all the plans in place to slowly develop the club off the pitch as well as on it."

Can Ipswich keep their promotion ambitions in their own hands?

Kieran McKenna's men still have their promotion chances in their own hands with games in hand on some of their rivals, where they'll be hoping to pick up an all-important three points.

They've not been shy of scoring goals this season, which puts them in a good position to mount a serious challenge against the likes of Middlesbrough for one of the automatic promotion places heading into the final quarter of this year's league campaign.

The East-Anglian based side are in good form at the ideal time as well, which includes a win over fellow promotion-chasing side, Hull City in midweek.

They dominated the statistics in that win over the Tigers, but were made to work hard for the three points, with a stunning strike from Azor Matusiwa proving to be the difference between the teams on the night.

If the Tractor Boys can continue to build on this momentum, then they'll be extremely tough to stop in their bid to win promotion back into the top-flight of English football.
