Vital Reserves Team
Not only do they play us, but also play Brentford.
Or do Villa hold the key - still potentially in the mix for automatic, they play us and Millwall.
With Middlesbro playing Millwall and Sheffield United playing Preston at the weekend a couple of teams (or more) could have their playoff credentials dented, perhaps fatally.
I think a final day victory over Barnsley would take us into the playoffs regardless of what happens at Villa. I cannot see Millwall winning their final 2 games and goal difference should see us finish above Brentford if we both end on 74. 74 points is beyond the reach of everyone else.
We may not make it, we almost certainly don't deserve to, and equally certainly we will get hammered by the team finishing 3rd: but consider this - if Cardiff slump into 3rd place and Fulham get auto, then we would be playing a team that are on a big downer, have just lost to us and we beat 3-1 on aggregate in regular season match ups.
And at Wembley, anything can happen as QPR found out.
But it will be back to "Rowett out" soon enough as we fumble it away again when in the opposition red zone
