Ipswich boss Roy Keane expects to know more about his squad once the Championship season is underway.

The Irishman took over at Portman Road at the end of the last campaign and guided the Tractor Boys to two wins in his first two games in charge.

Despite being pleased with the quality of the squad he inherited, Keane expects some players to fall by the wayside during the difficult campaign ahead.

"I saw a good side to the players in terms of attitude. You can get that when a new manager comes in," Keane told the club's official website.

"The time to judge the players is when we get going over the next few months. It's going to be a real test in the Championship with some tough away games and we'll find out what the players are like then.

"Some will inevitably fall by the wayside, it happens in football but it's a challenge I'm looking forward to and so should the players."
