The youngster also admitted he would prefer to stay at Portman Road than join up with the England Under 19 squad: "If the manager says I should go then I will go, because I love playing for my country. But this is an important time for the club and it is a vital time for me so if I stay and play I hope to take my chance."
Meanwhile the academy product also feels he should have had a penalty on Saturday when he was fouled by Robbie Ryan: "It was biggest penalty I have ever seen. I was very disappointed not to be given that. Even Kevin Muscat came up to me afterwards and said he sympathised with me. Just before mine, there had been a couple of appeals in the box and the referee had thought that's another one and booked me for it."
