Mick Mills, a legend of Ipswich Town, has emphasised the value of Leif Davis in terms of Kieran McKenna’s preferred style of football play this year.
Tuesday night at Portman Road, Ipswich defeated Bristol City 3-2 thanks to a goal and two assists from Davis. The 24-year-old, a left-back by trade, has emerged as one of the Championship’s most potent attackers this season.
With 17 assists so far this season, he leads all players in assists, and his ability to set up goals has been crucial to Ipswich’s second-place finish in the Championship standings. Mills emphasised that there isn’t a player on the Ipswich club that can perform as well as Davis can, week in and week out, for the team.
The legendary player from Ipswich acknowledged that McKenna’s significance is evident in the fact that he is a constant member of the team when healthy and ready to play. “Probably there isn’t any sort of alternative to him as far as sort of backup players are concerned,” Mills stated on BBC Radio Suffolk.
He is so essential to what Kieran McKenna wants to accomplish that he never seems to be left out of the team. “He is cast in a different kind of role. Davis scored his first goal of the season against Bristol City, despite the incredible amount of assists.
