IPSWICH Town boss Kieran McKenna caught a glimpse of target man Kieffer Moore’s potential impact despite his side going down at Preston.

A nightmarish first ten minutes saw the Tractor Boys go 2-0 down and eventually drop out of the automatic promotion places.

Bournemouth loanee and battering ram Moore was introduced at the interval and changed the game with two goals in 12 second-half minutes giving the visitors a late sniff.

“You’re always trying to have that variety you need in your playing squad,” said the Portman Road chief.

“Having options like that means you can help you to have variety in your play – especially in your attacking play.

“I think that’s something we’ve done really well over the past 12 months. We’ve been good at finding those different ways to threaten teams.

“My belief has always been that we have to adapt to the quality of the players at our disposal, and try our best to utilise their best attributes.

“That’s while staying true to our beliefs about how we want to play and how we want an Ipswich team to look.”
