The Robins will be assured to finish in the top six with a win at Sheffield United tomorrow, or if Wolves and Ipswich fail to win at Coventry and Preston respectively.

Mathematically City could still clinch an automatic promotion place, but Gary will keep his players' minds focussed on beating Sheffield United before looking to see if other scores go their way.

"We've got to try and get our play-off place secured first and foremost," he told Bristol City World. "Of course we're still after the automatic spot while it's still there, although we admit there is a slimmer chance of that.

"We have to make sure that if the other two teams fall away or slip up then we give ourselves a chance to be there right until the end.

"Whatever happens a result at Sheffield United puts us in the play-offs, and that would be nice going into the last game of the season.

"We're still in there challenging. We have been disappointed with our form of late, but we have to find a team that can find their form and mental toughness on these occasions.

"Not a great deal needs to happen for us to take the season into its final weekend. But we can consolidate our play-off position tomorrow and we'd like to do that to calm everybody's nerves."

Gary wouldn't reveals whether Steve Brooker (hamstring) and Lee Johnson (ankle) would be fit to play after recent injuries.
