That makes predicting the Blues line-up for tonight’s game against Fleetwood rather easy, with Cam Pring likely to be the only change to the team that beat Ipswich so comfortably on Saturday.
He’s expected to replace the injured Lee Brown at left-back, with manager Kenny Jackett unlikely to change a winning team for such a big game.
However, with a bench still packed full with quality, there’s no room for anyone taking their starting place for granted.
The likes of Rasmus Nicolaisen, Michael Jacobs, Jordy Hiwula and Ellis Harrison will all be busting to be involved.
But what better way to keep them on the bench than to put in another top performance against a promotion rival.
He’s the team we think Jackett will turn to to keep that promotion push going.
13. Sub 2 Rasmus Nicolaisen
Can understand the Dane getting frustrated over lack of playing time but surely even he can see Jack Whatmough and Sean Raggett have done little wrong to warrant dropping to the bench. Photo: .

Midfielder needs to add more to his game if he is to wrestle starting berth off Tom Naylor or Andy Cannon. Photo: Joe Pepler
15. Sub No 4 - Bryn Morris
Will probably earn recall to the bench due to Lee Brown injury. Has made 17 appearances this season but unfortunately question marks remain over his value to the team going forward. Photo: Joe Pepler
16. Sub 5 - Michael Jacobs
Winger made a four-minute cameo appearance at Ipswich after injury lay-off. Will be keen to get back to the form he was in prior to knee setback and will have Curtis nervously looking over his shoulder. Photo: Joe Pepler
