The Telegraph's Luke Edwards speaks highly of Ipswich Town on BBC Radio 5 Live'sFootball Daily podcast after their relegation to the Championship was confirmed.

"They have had a good go at it," said Edwards. "They have been the best performing of the newly promoted teams, but there was a bit of naivety in the style that they wanted to play.

"They came up short but I like Kieran McKenna and the way that he talks. They were in League One two years ago so it has been a remarkable journey and maybe one that has happened too quick.

"The club will be in a better position financially and it will bring stability in the long term. They have strong building blocks to have another stab at promotion next season in the Championship.

"Of the three teams going down, I see them as the best equipped to come back up. The fans are behind them because they are just grateful for what this team have given them over the past two years."
