Image for Opinion: Predicted line up Vs. Rotherham United

Following Tuesday’s defeat against local rivals Aston Villa, I believe there will be a fair few changes in the side that faces Rotherham United.

To begin with, I think we may see a few changes in the final third area of the team. Clayton Donaldson is irreplaceable on his day but his goal scoring touch just hasn’t been there this season, despite scoring a hattrick against Bristol City.

Although I personally don’t think he will be dropped by Rowett, I would like to see Nicolai Brock-Madsen given the chance to impress and who better to do it against than the Millers at St.Andrews.

Somewhere else that I think we may see a change is on the wings. With David Cotterill looking like he may still be out, I think it may be time to let the two youngsters have a go from the off.

I would like to see both Demarai Gray and Viv Solomon-Otabor given starts ahead of Jacques Maghoma because I think they can both excite the fans in what looks like it could be a high scoring game.

Moving away from the attacking side of the team, I think there may be a change in the midfield. Despite the fantastic work that Stephen Gleeson and Maikel Kieftenbeld have both done in the middle of the park, tiredness is beginning to show and I think now is the time to change things around.

For me, I would bring in David Davis for Kieftenbeld. Davis had a good game against Villa on Tuesday and Kieftenbeld began to look tired so I think we could see a change there.

Below is the starting XI that I would personally put out against Rotherham on Saturday along with the substitutes.

GK: Kuszczak
RB: Caddis
CB: Spector
CB: Morrison
LB: Grounds
CDM: Davis
CDM: Gleeson
RAM: Solomon-Otabor
CAM: Toral
LAM: Gray
ST: Brock-Madsen

Subs: Legzdins, Robinson, Lowry, Kieftenbeld, Maghoma, Shinnie, Donaldson.
