What did Gary Rowett make of Viv Solomon-Otabor's first start for Blues?
Rowett selected Solomon-Otabor ahead of Demarai Gray for yesterday's 1-0 victory over MK Dons and was pleased with the 19-year-old winger's contributionwww.birminghammail.co.uk
He was selected ahead of Demarai Gray just a few years ago, and Gray went on to win the Premier League just a few months later. If he could fulfil just a fraction of his potential here, he could phenomenal at this level (if). He's had a difficult few years and he's struggled to find the right setting or environment, but he could react well to the challenge and pressure he'd find here.
For balance
"The Blues boss explained that his team selection was also influenced by the fact Gray was suffering a migraine and fatigue"
