After Tuesday’s dull 0-0 draw at home against Blackburn Rovers, Blues will be looking to get back to winning ways in the league when they take on Fulham on Saturday.
With an estimated 4,100 fans travelling to Craven Cottage following a further allocation boost on Tuesday, the team will be hoping that they can send their fans home happy and with three points.
Last season, Blues picked up a point at the Cottage via a David Cotterill freekick and Gary Rowett will be hoping that his side can replicate the result or either better it.
Blues have now failed to score in four of their last five games and after the Rovers game, Rowett said that he isn’t worried about the lack of goals and that he has every confidence in his sides goal scoring ability, as do I!
Down below is the side that I would send out to take on the Cottagers along with the substitutes.
GK: Kuszczak
RB: Caddis
CB: Morrison
CB: Spector
LB: Grounds
CDM: Gleeson
CDM: Davis
RAM: Cotterill
CAM: Toral
LAM: Gray
ST: Donaldson
Subs: Legzdins, Robinson, Shinnie, Kieftenbeld, Solomon-Otabor, Maghoma, Brock-Madsen.
As you can see, I have dropped Shinnie and I have put Toral in. The effect that Toral had on the game on Tuesday night will surely earn him a recall to the starting XI.
I personally think that leaving Maghoma on the bench is the best thing for the side. We can bring him on with around 20 minutes to go and if we are a goal up, he is very good at killing the game off for us, like he did against Leeds United and MK Dons.
Blues fans, what do you make of my predictions? Do you think I am right to drop Shinnie for Toral? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section down below!
