Ipswich Town skipper Sam Morsy has highlighted the impressive 90-point finishing total of Leeds United in the Championship, emphasizing the strength of his team’s promotion season.

Leeds wrapped up the regular season in third place, falling short of Ipswich Town by six points and the title by seven points. Despite this gap, Leeds consistently challenged the top two teams until a late-season collapse.

Morsy refused to engage in the usual banter between the promoted teams, opting instead to acknowledge the strong performances of Leeds and Southampton. He praised their efforts despite missing out on automatic promotion.

Addressing Ipswich’s second-place finish ahead of Leeds’ 90-point tally, Morsy remarked, “It’s truly remarkable. We’ve competed against exceptional teams all season—Leicester, Leeds, Southampton—led by top managers and skilled players. Securing second place and promotion among such competition is a phenomenal accomplishment, especially with the high standards set by teams like Leeds.”

While Leeds fell short in the crucial stages of the season, allowing Ipswich to secure second place, the underlying statistics reveal Leeds’ competitive edge. The numbers show Leeds’ strong offensive and defensive capabilities throughout the season, indicating their quality as a team.

Despite Ipswich’s early dominance, Leeds emerged as a formidable challenger, showcasing their resilience and potential. Ipswich and Leicester’s initial lead in the top two spots was gradually challenged by Leeds, who displayed impressive performances despite the final setback.

Although Leeds’ 90-point season was commendable, their stumble at the end cost them while Ipswich remained composed and secured their promotion. This display of nerve and consistency ultimately earned Ipswich their well-deserved spot in the Premier League.
