If everyone is fit there's three Premier League regulars in there battling him for a starting place. Four if you include Matt Doherty, who he's not directly competing with but who is relevant as he's competing with centre backs for the starting position at right back. But, even leaving Doherty asíde, I think it would be a bold move to pick a backup SPL player over any of the three lads who are going well in the Premier League.
Yes, he's having a very strong season on a personal level. Ipswich will likely be relegated but (like most relegated teams) they have a few players who are genuinely good enough to be playing at that level and he's one of them.
