Just 180 minutes of football now lie between Albion and the playoffs, and having secured our place, it's now a case of seeing whereabouts in the lottery we fetch up. There remains the slimmest of chances that we could snatch 3rd place and dodge Villa with two wins to finish the season, provided Leeds manage no more than one point; that possibility is boosted by the fact that Leeds are up against Villa this weekend.
However, we also have to fulfil our end of the bargain, and on Saturday that entails beating a Rotherham side still fighting to escape relegation. It's one of those that could prove a banana skin, and the last thing Albion need is to consider it job done for the normal season and start daydreaming about the playoffs. Three points are a must here.
