Birmingham City are represented in the latest Football League team of the week that has been selected after this week’s action.

The performance by Ryan Shotton in the two one victory over Brentford at the weekend at Griffin Park was enough to earn them a place in the side alongside the other most impressive performers in the Football League pyramid.

I think we’ll already know ourselves, and not just based on the latest performance, why Shotton was selected as part of the team but explaining the choice – the FL blurb read.

‘Birmingham were made to work hard for their win at Brentford, but Shotton was a key figure at both ends as the Blues maintained fourth spot in the division. The defender was in the right place at the right time to deny Lasse Vibe’s goal-bound effort, and he popped up at the other end to score what proved to be the winner in the 2-1 success.’

It’s always good to see the club represented in this way, and well played to Shotton for his recognition, but the most important thing about the weekend was of course the three points.

Full Team:

Neil Etheridge (Walsall), Tom Smith (Swindon Town), Charlie Mulgrew (Blackburn Rovers), Ryan Shotton (Birmingham City), Scott Wagstaff (Gillingham), Luke Gambin (Barnet), Ed Upson (MK Dons), Henri Lansbury (Nottingham Forest), Jay O’Shea (Chesterfield), Scott Kasket (Wycombe Wanderers), Charlie Wyke (Carlisle United).

Manager – John McGreal (Colchester United).
