We are ready for anyone - Johnson

Bristol City boss Gary Johnson does not mind who they meet in the play-offs now they are assured of a top-six finish.

"What you don't want to do is pick a team out and then not get them," he told BBC Radio Bristol.

"You've got to be prepared for anyone. The good thing is we know we're one of them. The other team is just whoever it is and we'll worry about it then."

Johnson feels that City are back to playing well, despite losing 2-1 at Sheffield United on Saturday.

The place for the last two play-off positions is wide open, and City could come up against Hull, Watford, Crystal Palace, Wolves, Ipswich or Sheffield United.

"We haven't got to worry about feeling that any team that we could come up against is going to trounce us, because we've had a season where nobody's taken six points off us throughout the whole season," said Johnson. "So we keep ourselves confident in that knowledge."

Meanwhile, the Robins have been boosted by the news of right-back Bradley Orr and midfielder Marvin Elliott's selection in the PFA Championship team of the year.

"It's another big feat," said Johnson, who gave the entire squad the day off to attend the PFA awards in London on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Bristol City have placed tickets on sale to season ticket holders for the home leg of their play-off semi, if they book online or via telephone. Sales will be taken in person at Ashton Gate during office hours on Wednesday or Thursday
