Millwall vs Birmingham preview - Holloway to ring changes

Posted Monday, September 29, 2014 by PA

Millwall boss Ian Holloway is threatening to make changes for the visit of Birmingham.

The Lions went down 2-1 at Huddersfield in what Holloway described as a "flat" performance and have taken just one point from a possible 12.

Nicky Bailey's return in midfield after a calf problem was one bright spot and he should be involved again but right-back Carlos Edwards and winger Lee Martin are out with knee injuries.

Justin Hoyte, Mathias Ranegie, Magaye Gueye and Lee Gregory are among the players pushing for recalls.

Birmingham are without Jonathan Spector after he suffered a thigh injury late on in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Fulham.

Forward Koby Arthur could be involved after recovering from a hamstring injury following his recall from a loan spell at Cheltenham.

Defeat on Saturday left Blues fourth bottom of the Sky Bet Championship and they have won just once this season.

Assistant manager Steve Watson said: "We have to start responding to setbacks better. We set up to win games and on Saturday we had four attack-minded players on the pitch. We executed the game plan in the first half but one goal should be enough when you're dominating games."
