Jack Taylor scored a crucial late goal to secure Ipswich Town’s second Premier League win of the season, demonstrating his knack for scoring across various levels of English football. His goal not only highlights his talent but also brings joy to his team, as they continue to battle against relegation.
Kieran McKenna said “The dressing room is delighted for him. It’s another fantastic story in the group.”
Jack Taylor’s performance reflects the hard work of both the player and his teammates, as well as the strategic decisions made by the staff. Despite not starting the game, Taylor made a significant impact, showcasing the depth and competitiveness within the squad.
Kieran McKenna said “It’s testament to him and the way he works, the way the group works every day and the way the staff work every day. Of course he was disappointed not to start again today, but Jens (Cajuste) was in fantastic form as well and I thought played really well. So that’s a great position for the squad to have two players doing really well in that role. That was brilliant for him and brilliant from him.”
McKenna further reflected on the accomplishments of his players, noting how several have made notable progress across different divisions of English football, highlighting the journey and growth of the team from League One to the Premier League.
Kieran McKenna said “I think that’s our fourth player now who has scored in every division in English football (Taylor, Conor Chaplin, Sam Morsy and Sammie Szmodics). I think there are 10 or 11 in history and we’ve got four of them. If anyone wants to look at it, six of our starting team today were with us in League One 18 months ago. The group’s been on an incredible journey. Every single individual in there has got their story and Jack has a lovely moment in his story today.”
