Ipswich signed one of the best players in the EFL, now he belongs there
Unless a minor miracle occurs between now and the end of May, Ipswich Town are set for an immediate return back down to the Championship after a fleeting one-season adventure in the Premier League.
With nine games left to go in the top-flight campaign, the Suffolk strugglers find themselves nine points off 17th placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, with five defeats from their last six games in the tricky division making for some pretty grim reading.
Whilst the likes of Liam Delap and Leif Davis have proven that they’re Premier League capable for their lowly side, other figures in Kieran McKenna’s camp have struggled for the majority of the season with the gigantic step-up in quality.
The biggest losers from Ipswich’s Premier League return
Ipswich would have been well aware from minute one of this campaign that it was going to be an almighty struggle to stay afloat in the top-flight, with the Premier League a different kettle of fish altogether from the Championship.
Still, the likes of Jack Clarke will perhaps be most disappointed with their output. A statement £20m buy from Sunderland, this was the young winger’s opportunity to prove himself at the highest level after having a rough time of it with Spurs in his previous experience of the top-flight.
