Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town side have found themselves in a promising position lately, sitting 3rd in the table and just two points off the automatic promotion places. Their recent victory over league leaders Coventry City showcased the versatility and strength in their squad, particularly in the form of Jacob Greaves.
With regular left-back Leif Davis unavailable, Greaves stepped in to fill the role and delivered a standout performance against Coventry. Despite initially struggling to find his best form since his move from Hull City, Greaves showcased his potential as a left-back and provided McKenna with an additional option for team selection.
Greaves’ defensive contributions against Coventry City limited their attacking opportunities, showcasing his ability to thrive in the left-back position. While Davis remains a strong option for McKenna, Greaves’ performance has raised the possibility of him becoming a regular feature in the starting lineup, especially against teams that pose a threat on the flanks.
Drawing parallels to former Ipswich Town player Tyrone Mings, Greaves’ performance on Monday night hinted at a resurgence in form that could see him excel in the left-back role. With his previous success at Hull City in a similar position, Greaves’ experience and capability suggest that he could be a valuable asset for Ipswich Town moving forward.
