Should Blues go for brains or braun?

Assuming Jacques Maghoma is declared for for tomorrow’s derby, Steve Cotterill has a decision to make.

Since Maghoma’s injury, Jota has thrust himself into the limelight with some eye catching performances.

His two goals against Sheffield Wednesday helped Blues to a vital win. And his half time introduction during the FA Cup replay in midweek seemed to liven Blues up.

The Spaniard, however, doesn’t offer as much to the team from a defensive point of view.

Maghoma, who perhaps isn’t as technically gifted as record signing Jota, undoubtedly gives Blues more of a competitive edge with his work rate and willingness to press high up the pitch.

The question for Cotterill is – brains or braun?

Blues fans – what do you think?
