Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna was proud of his side’s hard work and intensity after they extended their unbeaten run to six games with a 2-0 win at Hull City.
It was only Town’s third victory in the last 21 away league meetings with The Tigers and lifted them up to fourth in the Championship.
“It was a tough game and I thought we showed the things you need to show in the Championship on tough midweek nights when you’re not playing on a perfect pitch,” McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.
“Our intensity was good, our defending was really good, the only chances we gave away were from a couple of turnovers – our press was good and made it hard for a good footballing team to get any sort of moves going.
“We didn’t have as much control of the ball as we’d have liked in the first half but you have to have that base of hard work, intensity, organisation and resilience that we showed, and if you do that, then you know the goals can come.
“We scored a really good first goal and you could see the difference that made to the game, confidence comes into the group, the opposition open up some more spaces and stop working so hard to stop us, and we looked a big threat in the last 25 minutes and looked like we could score any number of goals.”
Ipswich will look for a fourth successive away win in Friday evening’s trip to Oxford United.
