Aston Villa are in outstanding form under Dean Smith
The victory all but secured a top six spot for Dean Smith’s men, and Gray insists no team will want to face resurgent Villa in the play-offs.
The talkSPORT pundit – a Championship promotion winner with Sunderland – said: “Ten wins in a row – what an achievement.
“That is so difficult to do when you think about how many games they have had and how quick they come around.
“I covered them against Bolton and in the second half they were exceptional.
“Everybody knows their job. Dean Smith has gone into that club and galvanised it.

Jack Grealish has been key to Aston Villa’s record-breaking run
“You wouldn’t want to play them. They are established in the play-offs and nobody will want to play them.
“The way they are playing, they will take some stopping.”
Villa had been languishing in mid-table before starting their amazing winning run, which has surpassed the previous best of nine consecutive victories set back in 1910.

They were without 25-goal striker Tammy Abraham against Millwall due to a shoulder injury but Jonathan Kodjia ensured the on-loan Chelsea youngster was not missed, firing home what proved to be the winner in the 30th minute.
The victory extends fifth placed Villa’s lead over Bristol City in seventh to nine points, although the Robins have two games in hand.
While Villa are chasing promotion, Millwall are fighting desperately to avoid relegation and remain one place above the drop zone after seeing their four-game unbeaten run come to an end.
