Town are locked at 1-1 with Bournemouth after the first leg at Dean Court on Saturday.

That draw means it is effectively a cup final for a place in the League One play-off final at Manchester United’s ground next weekend.

Town chief Lee Clark said: “The game is our 60th of the season, which is more than any other team in the country. None of the other 92 clubs have played that many, including Manchester United.

“The success we have had in cup competitions has caused that. We only went out of the two major ones after drawing Premier League opposition (Everton in the Carling Cup and Arsenal in the FA Cup).

“So, it has been important that the players got some energy back in their system over the last few days. They will be flying and firing on all cylinders and ready to drive themselves into the ground.”

The winners meet either Peterborough or MK Dons in the final.
