Kenny Jackett knows that victory for Millwall at Elland Road on Monday will blow the race for the second automatic spot wide open.
The Lions travel to Yorkshire with confidence sky high following a superb run that has reaped 10 wins, two draws and just one defeat in the last 13 League One starts.
Last Saturday's 4-0 Den demolition of Charlton Athletic moved The Lions to within one point of third spot, and six behind second-placed Leeds United.
However, Den boss Kenny claims that whilst everyone in SE16 thoroughly enjoyed that derby day win, the only game he is focusing on for now is Monday's televised clash at Leeds.
"It's a very exciting time for us all," he said, "And the players know that they must look now at what is ahead rather what happened last weekend.
Leeds will be a different game from Charlton, but we are really looking forward to it.
Both ourselves and Leeds are in the top six looking for promotion again and it is live on the television, so that makes it an exciting game.
Monday will be a very big game and a great one to play in against a team we are competing directly against going into the final 10 matches of the season."
However we have to focus on the things which win us the games and not focus on the occasion, because sometimes in games like these it can all go very quickly and perhaps we haven't done ourselves justice.
