Stoke City defender Ashley Phillips admits he has had to be patient for game time this season, but says he feels at home with the club.
The Potters are currently third in the Championship and face an away trip against Millwall on Tuesday night (19:45 BST).
He told BBC Radio Stoke: "I didn't get a single minute in pre-season so it has been about getting up to speed so far, but when you are in the side it's about staying in.
"I have had to be patient but the competition has been great and we are all pushing each other which has helped us end up being as high up as we are.
