In what has become a disappointing season so far for Ipswich Town, Mick McCarthy has seen his side go from potential play-off hopefuls to potentially a surprise relegation package.
Mick McCarthy's side currently sit sixteenth in the Sky Bet Championship table, just six places above the relegation zone.
Despite a decline in form and a steady fall down the table, Mick McCarthy will be hoping that he can turn the season around and push for a top half finish.
An excellent point against high-flying Reading at Portman Road could potentially be the springboard that Mick McCarthy's side needed to build some momentum to enable them to string together some results.
Even though it has been a disappointing season so far for Ipswich Town, there is still a plethora of talent on show at Portman Road who deserve recognition and appreciation.
FLW writer Elliott Wheat-Bowen will look at three players who have been Ipswich Town's best so far this season...
Tom Lawrence
The on-loan midfielder has been a revelation for Ipswich Town this season with eight goals and five assists in twenty-four Championship appearances.
Having dropped down a division after joining Ipswich Town from Leicester City, Lawrence has proved to be one of the signings of the signing, even though it's just a season long loan.
A highlight reel of mazy runs, long-range strikes and finishes from impossible angles has seen him become an integral member of Mick McCarthy's side.
After a number of excellent performances, the Welsh international has forged a reputation for himself as one of the most dynamic and prolific midfielders in the Championship this season.
Not only has Tom Lawrence been one of the best players for Ipswich Town, he has also been one of the best players in the entirety of the Championship so far this season.
Bartosz Białkowski
One of Ipswich Town's most consistent performers both this season and last has been Polish goalkeeper Bartosz Białkowski.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper has played an integral role for Ipswich Town this season, having played every minute of Ipswich Town's Championship campaign so far.
With an ever-changing defence and defensive system, Białkowski has suffered from a lack of continuity and communication in front of him.
However, despite the changes in front of Białkowski, he has been impressively consistent and heavily relied upon by Mick McCarthy.
Even though Ipswich Town's season has stagnated somewhat, Białkowski has proved himself to be one of Ipswich Town's best players so far this season.
Adam Webster
Having made the high-profile move from League 2 side Portsmouth to Ipswich Town, Adam Webster has proved that he is more than capable of performing at the much higher level.
The 22-year-old centre half has been a calming influence at the back for Ipswich Town in the twenty-two Championship games that he he has featured in so far this season.
Reports earlier in the season suggested that Adam Webster's impressive performances had not gone unnoticed which saw the Portsmouth academy graduate linked with a move to Premier League strugglers Sunderland.
However, despite the fierce interest in the January transfer window, Ipswich Town managed to stave off any interest in their excellent young defender.
Even though Webster is currently absent from the Ipswich Town starting line-up due to a severe ankle injury which has seen him sidelined for the past four matches, he has still been one of Ipswich Town's best players this season.
