After a disappointing defeat against Nottingham Forest on Friday night at the City Ground, Birmingham City will be looking to bounce back on Tuesday evening when Rotherham United visit St.Andrews.
The side currently managed by Alan Stubbs sit bottom of the Championship after 12 games, picking up just one win, as well as three draws.
On Saturday afternoon, they also lost 3-1, the same scoreline Blues lost to the previous night, but to Norwich City away from home, and although they will be looking to put things right in B9 on Tuesday, I think Blues will have far too much quality for them.
With the likelihood of changes to the side very high, I believe the rotation will allow Blues to attack with plenty of pressure and it wouldn’t surprise me if we come out all guns blazing to try and kill the Millers off in the first half.
Down below is the side that I think Gary Rowett will field as well as the seven substitutes…
GK: Kuszczak
RB: Cogley
CB: Shotton
CB: Morrison
LB: Grounds
CM: Tesche
CM: Gleeson
CM: Kieftenbeld
RW: Cotterill
ST: Jutkiewicz
LW: Maghoma
Substitutes: Legzdins, Wiggins, Brown, Fabbrini, Stewart, Adams, Donaldson.
As you can see, I have made four changes to the side that lost convincingly on Friday night with Maikel Kieftenbeld, Tomasz Kuszczak, Robert Tesche and Josh Cogley all being handed starts.
With those four coming into the starting XI, that means that Adam Legzdins, who has stood in excellently for the absent Kuszczak, Paul Robinson, David Davis and Che Adams drop out of the side.
Whilst Legzdins and Adams drop to the bench, Robinson and Davis, the former being suspended after picking up five yellow cards, miss out completely with Cogley being handed his first league start with Jonathan Spector expected to still be out.
Blues fans, would you make those changes? Would you like to see Josh Cogley make his first league appearance for the club? Let us know in the comment section down below!
