Will that change their mentality, or even team selection? Full bore we still have a shot at autos vs 80% save themselves for the play offs.

If it's the latter, our chances of 3 points are a lot better.

No, I doubt it. The odds are against them but to not go for it, at least this weekend, while they have any chance would be crazy. Only takes Fulham and Cardiff to lose their last games (unlikely but you never know) and Villa to win both of theirs. The GD Is close enough for it not to be an issue.

Maybe next weekend they might.

Last league home game of the season, needing 3 points and improved goal difference to have any chance of top 2, with nothing to lose if they get beat..! They will be at it early on. Could be a hiding.

Hang on..weather the storm..hit them on the break....

Perfect game for Rowett imo.

Bruce was on talksport yesterday and was very realistic about his side's chances of making the top two. But also stated how important momentum was. ?. Plus it's Gabby Agbonlahors last game at villa park so could be some sentiment in letting him play today.

Anyone else bricking it like a playoff game? It’s basically a playoff to get into the playoffs, we need a win! Come on derby, it’s time to make up for all those years of bottling by rising to the challenge now!

A win would be great but a point would be a good result, meaning a win vs Barnsley would pretty max guarantee playofffs. No point conceeding late trying to get the win.

Boro do us a favour and beat Milwall....a narrow defeat wouldn't be a disaster.

Agreed, but it doesn't help that boro play milwall after us so both will know what they have to do. Also we have played in midweek which gives villa the advantage. Not really expecting us to get anything today but then I wasn't against Cardiff. A draw would be a very good result for us.
