Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna says the Championship promotion race remains too close to call, with the gap between teams being minimal. His side sits third, two points behind Middlesbrough with a game in hand, and has won six of its last eight matches. McKenna insists they're focused on themselves rather than the table.

After a summer overhaul that saw seven or eight regular starters depart, including the club captain, McKenna acknowledges it has taken time for new signings like Cedric Kipres and Azor Matusiwa to integrate. He believes the squad has one of the league's strongest talents but stresses that hard work and cohesion are what ultimately decide success in this division.

McKenna remains hopeful of adding to his squad before the January window closes, a move the club has made in each of his seasons at Portman Road. He's content with current depth and a favourable injury situation but will pursue quality additions if available. The immediate focus is securing points in upcoming fixtures.
