Bristol City boss Gary Johnson has backed his side not to blow their automatic promotion chance on the final day of the season.
The Robins failed to clinch second spot and an automatic ticket into the Championship after losing at Millwall.
Another defeat against already-relegated Rotherham next weekend could allow Nottingham Forest or Blackpool to pip them to second spot, but Johnson has backed his side to hold their nerve.
"We've waited a long time to get to the Championship and we don't want to blow it in the last game," he said.
"There is a big week ahead of us and we've got to pick the lads up.
"But sometimes you need to get knocked down to stand up stronger. We knew we had two bites at the cherry and now we need the second.
"It will be one of the biggest games in the club's history, but we must not forget that for 45 games we have played well."
