Throughout Thursday, we are putting your Ipswich Town questions to BBC Radio Suffolk's Graeme McLoughlin.

Come back over the course of the day to hear his expert thoughts.

Duncan asked about the summer goalkeeper swap from Vaclav Hladky to Arijanet Muric and for his views on the number-one shirt at Portman Road.

Graeme answered: I was very sad to see Hladky leave Town. He was one of the stories of last season from an Ipswich Town perspective, while this season he seems to be back-up to James Trafford at Turf Moor.

Muric has shown at both Town and former club Burnley that he has a lot of quality and is a great shotstopper, but there have been one or two mistakes, which at this level really do not go unnoticed.

For now, it is his shirt, and I really cannot see that changing for the rest of this year at least unless injury dictates.

Diane asked what has happened to Cameron Burgess who has made just one appearance this season and has not been named in the Premier League squad since August.

Graeme answered: Two words - Jacob Greaves.

The former Hull man was brought in for big money during the summer and you can only play one left-sided centre-half. Greaves began the season in that role and has been very good for the majority of the campaign so far.

It is harsh on Burgess, because he has been exemplary since taking his first opportunity under Kieran McKenna.

Should another present itself in the coming weeks and months, I have no doubt the Australian international would make the most of it.
