We asked you to send in your Ipswich Town questions for BBC Radio Suffolk's Graeme McLoughlin.

A number of you asked why last season's top scorer in the Championship Sammie Szomodics has mainly been played out wide since his arrival from Blackburn Rovers.

Ipswich Town's system is very fluid so occasionally Szmodics drops into something more like a number-10 role. But, granted, he has mainly been used out wide which is not where his goals regularly came from last season.

There is a lot of competition at Town in those attacking areas and I am not sure Kieran McKenna knows himself yet what his best line-up is.

It seems certain some tinkering in that area of the field will continue when we resume after the international break and heading into the next one.

Personally, I would like to see him try Omari Hutchinson on the right, Szmodics in the centre and Jack Clarke on the left with Liam Delap continuing up top.

It still seems crazy to me saying that though given everything Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin have achieved in the Ipswich colours these past few seasons.

Has the latter not been deserving of more than one Premier League start so far?
