Ipswich Town's new manager Gary O'Neil is taking an adaptable approach to tactics. Asked about his team's style, O'Neil said: "We will find ways to be more adaptable though, I think."

O'Neil wants his teams to have the ball and express themselves with it. He prefers a 4-2-3-1 formation, but will adapt to different situations.

The team is currently in 2nd place in the Championship, with 84 points from 46 games. | Stat | Value | | League standing | 2nd in Championship | | Goals this season | 80 scored, 47 conceded | | Title race | 11 points behind leaders Coventry |

O'Neil's focus is on getting enough points to survive in the Premier League. He wants his team to be well-coached, together, and hard-working.

As of June 26, 2026, Ipswich Town is gearing up for the new season with a strong squad and a clear tactical plan under Gary O'Neil's leadership.
