Bartosz Bialkowski is taking each game as it comes and isn’t thinking about whether he’ll keep his place once Dean Gerken returns from his shoulder injury.
Bialkowski, 28, was Town’s man of the match at QPR on Saturday, making a number of impressive saves during a first half in which the Blues were under the cosh.
The Pole made his first Championship appearance since August in last Tuesday’s 2-1 home win against Reading, Gerken, 30, having suffered his injury late on at Birmingham.
The former Colchester and Bristol City man is expected to be fit again in time for the home match against Hull City on Tuesday 23rd February and manager Mick McCarthy will then have what's become a regular dilemma regarding two keepers he rates equally highly.
"I’m not thinking about that at all, I’m just trying to do my job as best as I can, taking one game at a time and we’ll see,” Bialkowski told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"Injuries happen in football. Deano’s been outstanding this season and I supported him. We’ll see what’s going to happen. Obviously I want to play, and so does Deano. It’s good competition for one place.”
Reflecting on the defeat at Loftus Road, he added: "Maybe it wasn’t our day, but we’re really confident and we know we still believe and we’ve got another chance next week.
"We just need to forget about this game, learn the lesson and play our football next game.”
Meanwhile, Town assistant manager Terry Connor was beaten to the Coach of the Year gong at the British Ethnic Diversity Sports Awards on Saturday by Sivakumar Ramasamy, the Great Britain Taekwondo coach.
Connor was shortlisted alongside Ramasamy and Baldip Sahota, who coaches wheelchair fencing’s world numbers one and two.
