3 things we learnt about Ipswich Town after their 2-0 victory over Accrington Stanley | OneFootball

Ipswich Town rose to the League One summit once again yesterday afternoon, with the Tractor Boys securing a 2-0 victory over Accrington Stanley.

Second half strikes from Conor Chaplin and Wes Burns earned the Suffolk club three points in Lancashire, with Ipswich now top of the league on goal difference.

Accumulating 17 points in their opening seven fixtures, the Tractor Boys have certainly looked impressive thus far.

Here, we take a look at three things we learnt about Ipswich after yesterday’s 2-0 win up in Accrington…

Conor Chaplin shines from the bench

Possessing such a strong squad, and having the opportunity to make up to five substitutions during matches now, game changers are proving to be as vital as ever.

Conor Chaplin certainly help change the game when he came on from the bench yesterday afternoon, with his goal and performance in general helping the Tractor Boys to three points.

Starting the new League One season in excellent form, Chaplin has the right attributes to play an integral role as the season progresses.

Defence remains solid

Kieran McKenna has used different personnel in the back three thus far, however, the levels of consistency remain consistent.

Yesterday’s clean sheet was Ipswich’s fourth of the new season, with the four gaol they have conceded thus far being the lowest in the division.

Cameron Burgess may have started the campaign on the fringes but he was outstanding yesterday and is making excellent progress during the early stages of this season.

Marcus Harness

There was excitement around the Marcus Harness addition, with the early signs backing up the positivity.

The creative talent enjoyed another start at the weekend and certainly delivered from an influential standpoint.

Swiftly emerging as a regular starter in a talented group of Ipswich players, the former Portsmouth man is putting in consistently strong performances.
