We are in position at Colney ahead of Daniel Farke's penultimate presser of the season.
----------------------------------------------------------
DF: We have bad news with Tom Trybull. He may need surgery on a ankle injury. He is seeing a specialist on Tuesday in London.
DF: The mood is good. We are in a good position. Day-to-day, we have got more and more focused. Blackburn are in good shape and we have to be switched on to get points.
There are no nerves.
DF: When you are too calm and you think everything is done, you get complacent. We are confident but we know every game is tough.
DF: It's a big weekend. Sheffield United will win 3 points tomorrow so with one point we can get promoted tomorrow. We have a home game in front of our excited fans and we want to win all three points.
DF: I would have already taken it if we had been promoted on the bus or the plane. If we have to go to Villa and get promoted, I'll take that as well. But to do it in front of our fans, it will be pretty special.
DF: Fans have to be focused and try to help us. It won't be a big party, we need to work hard and we need our fans to work hard. There will be difficult moments during this game and we need their support.
DF: Scoring goals is good for the self-confidence. Stoke were there with five or six clean sheets in a row and it's difficult to create chances against them. In this game, we scored two good goals and had several other chances. We average two goals a game and that's a big strength of ours.
DF: I don't believe in coincidence. I believe that hard work will always pay off. We are concentrated on what we have to do. It would be nice to get all three points. But I would take anywhere to get promoted.
DF: When you play football, you want to be involved in big games. We are not happy he is not available because he's been crucial. But you have to handle this and we have shown we are capable this season to adapt. We will hopefully keep him smiling with a win.
DF: The real option in defensive midfield is Alex Tettey but he has missed a lot of football. Louis Thompson could also play in this real but he has missed a lot of games. We will see what we do tomorrow.
DF: Blackburn will be highly-motivated. Steve Bruce said his team played their best game against us, same as Wigan. When you are league leaders, everyone is even more motivated because they know they are in the spotlight. We are prepared for a tough game.
DF: It would be a perfect fit to win promotion at home. We will have the whole squad there, 24 lads and some younger lads. But my experiences in football say it's not like a painted picture. We have to work pretty hard to get this romantic finish.
DF: We had so many games where there were setbacks. We've scored so many late goals and it was thanks to our fans who helped us.
DF: After the game at Stoke, I liked to reaction of my players. It was an important point and could prove pivotal. But we need another point. The mood is pretty good but we have to be focused and switched on.
DF: The players haven't lost the ground under their feet. We have lots of experienced lads and they keep the young lads in check. We have handled the pressure in a really good way and we've always delivered.
DF: Leaders are always important. They will be crucial on Saturday but no matter the situation, they are always important.
DF: I'm not an event manager. I don't plan celebrations and I'm fully focused on the game. I'm sure we have people who are planning for situations, but it's not a topic for me or my players.
DF: My feeling was not that low after Stoke. We were close to winning. We spoke about how important the point might be. The win of Brentford helped us a little both. But it was good to not get carried away too much afterwards.
DF: I always try and be honest with my players. We know we only need one point but it's very neccessary, because the goals and points could swing in Leeds' favour. We know we have to be fully switched on.
DF: We have already decided who is in the squad for tomorrow so it would not be healthy for Louis to play tomorrow. When you have so many injuries, we need to give him some minutes so he will play with the U23s tonight.
DF: I would like to reassure OG we will remain fully greedy until the last kick of the season.
