Top 5 attacking sides in the Sky Bet Championship

Joint-4th place – Ipswich Town (20 goals)

Mick McCarthy is the sort of manager who gets the back up of not only opposition fans, but also some of his own. He’s a typically blunt speaking Yorkshireman who doesn’t mince his words when it comes to calling a spade a spade.

Thankfully, this season, it appears that Ipswich Town have a sharp edge to their game to their game to match the tongue of their manager. Ipswich haven’t spent big over the summer transfer window, only brining in Martyn Waghorn (£990,000 from Rangers), Joe Garner (£990,000 from Rangers) and free transfers Emyr Huws and Tom Adeyemi from Cardiff City.

Complementing these arrivals have been promotions from within and the arrivals of select loanees such as Dominic Iorfa (Wolves) and Bersant Celina (Manchester City). Whilst they may have scored 20 goals in winning six games, it is a case of black/white/no grey for the Tractor Boys with the Suffolk side also suffering six defeats to leave them 11th in the table.

Headline figures
  • Ipswich Town’s 20 goals have come from the following positions: six-yard box (1), penalty area (15), outside box (4)
  • 132 shots (ranked 22nd) with 40 on target (ranked 22nd) which gives the following conversion rates: 15.2% from all shots, 50% from on-target shots
  • 95 key passes that lead to team chances (ranked 23rd), two throughballs (ranked joint-17th)
  • 58 successful dribbles (ranked 24th)

The last of the quintet of Championship attacking sides is one who set out with a definite sense of attack and being on the front-foot in mind.
