    There is little time to stew on things during the play-offs. There's little time for preparation. It's a case of ice up, rest, recovery, play.

    Channelling body and mind for short-term pain, potentially long-term gain.

    At the end of an already lung-busting season, sapped by 46 games, some of the EFL's best athletes, artisans, destroyers, goal-getters and schemers have to dig deep into the reserves to go again.

    The two Championship sides involved tonight, Luton and Sunderland, will have done just that.
