Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna has praised Stoke City manager Mark Robins for his longevity in the game but isn't in a rush to emulate it.
The Tractor Boys welcome the Potters to Portman Road on Wednesday night and McKenna is expecting a tough game despite Stoke's 4-0 loss at Sheffield United on Saturday.
"I think they've been playing really well," McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"I've been impressed. One of the best footballing sides in the division for sure.
"I think they'd probably say themselves, Saturday was a one-off in terms of a game really getting away from them.
