With it being Sunday final fixtures and 1st play off game 4 days later Bradford are very likely to rest key players. |  |

Even if it cost them home advantage in the second leg?
What they may have is a plan to sub players once scores come in from elsewhere. |  |

I'm not really sure that there is much advantage of the second leg being at home. Yes, it is nice and can help with the crowd in the most critical stage of the tie but it can equally be argued that the first leg at home and try and get the lead to take away and use as a security buffer for the second leg is not that bad.
Unless I am mistaken or things have changed the EFL do not use away goals in their competitions so it means that a team winning away in the first leg (say, 2-0) doesn't nearly kill the tie off with a single home goal in the second leg.
There is still a small advantage I agree, but I don't think it is massive and one which you would battle to get at the risk of player fatigue |  | | |

Barnsley finished 6th last season and won their 1st leg at home 3-0. Certainly being at home can be an advantage whether its 1st or 2nd leg. Our previous home game 1st leg in the playoffs v Gillingham was the total opposite - we were far too cagey and cautious and didn't go for it. Hopefully if we make it this time Hill will learn from this. | |
