We will all take a draw now ,if only it was that easy ,toughest game for a while ,can we score can we battle out a point .Let's hope so and then a decent rest ready then for 2 massive games which I think will define the season.
 
Will definitely get a result tonight.

We will certainly have a result, be amazed if it’s one we are happy with. Much as I’d love a point, Burnley should have far too much for us at home.. Horrible feeling the run will end this evening, Feel a bit like Kip as I write this, but not at all hopeful.

Please don't access your inner Kip. You won't like it
 
Burnley have not scored at home since 21st December and have just signed two forwards close to £10 million.
They have been playing good football but just can’t score.

Yo know how we have this horrible habit of ending clubs losing/scoring streaks, I’m afraid to say I think we will be beaten 2/3 nil tonight.
It won’t be an abject performance like we saw at Sunderland,Sheffield Utd and Leeds I feel they will be too good for us.We got away with it when we played them at home.

Our only hope is that our defence play exceptionally well and Cumming has a blinder but I feel we will concede and not be able to reply
 
A bit more enthusiasm needed around here! I'm going for a surprise win. 1-0 to the Yellows. Might not be a pretty watch but a strong, resolute and steadfast defence, goal coming from a break out counter attack.

Sorry Manor, I usually hope we can get something from most away games, but feel this is one that will be as tough as Leeds, Sheffield Utd and Sunderland.

A few weeks ago, pre-Rowett, I would probably have agreed. However, recently, I've started to think we have got our act together and, with a prevailing wind, have got real prospects of turning over some of those "nailed on" promotion contenders.

Now, where's my medication . . . .
 
Call it 0-0 and save us from a trip up the M6 and Burnley fans from having to leave the house to watch their team thrill them for their 11th scoreless draw of the season?
 
every game in the Championship is a hard one. Im quietly confident Oxford United are capable of getting a battling win, and confounding the sky pundits who wrote us off before a ball was kicked this season. As it seems some of our own supporters have for tonights game too. Its what happens over 90+ minutes later this evening, not the previous f*****g stats. Its 11 championship players against 11 championship players. Hard fought, hard earned away win 1-2, TG and a late Bran pen

The top 4 are miles clear of anyone else in this league. This is our last trip to one of them this season. I hope we use it as a chance to rotate and see what Bradshaw, Matos and Romeny can do in a tough environment. They’ve only conceded 9 goals all season.

Next Tuesday is far more important, but we could take a bit of pressure off that game if we nick a result tonight.

This.
I don’t think we’ll ever get into this game, and I’m not sure we have the ability to score.
Not defeatist; realistic.
Happy to have this comment thrown back at me later this evening.

Absolutely not!

We don't have a game for ten days after this one, so should go there all guns blazing, as there's plenty of recovery time. I'm not travelling to Burnley and back to see a shadow squad get humped!!!

Win all day long first, followed by the draw if the need arise - but above all a GR inspired determined attempt.

I (car of five) was one of the pissed off souls who witnessed the Sunderland, Sheff Utd and Leeds debacle's and I'm hoping GR has this in mind for the long trip and day ahead as it cannot be any fun too for the players to get their arses kicked all the way back down the M6 tonight.

However, a little reminder to the team bus - you probably won't get a Tony Martinez welcome from me in the service station afterwards if you cave in so easily tonight Grrrr lol.

COYY'S.
 
Looking for a bit of fight more than anything tbh. The way we absolutely folded against Leeds, Sheffield and Sunderland without so much as a whimper is what was most concerning, as opposed to coming away empty handed. No shape, no clue, no plan. Sheffield in particular put three past us and then didn’t even need a gear to keep us at bay - they were on clutch control for most of that match and we still didn’t offer anything. The manner of those defeats is the reason Gary Rowett has a job, so there should be an expectation that we will compete at a minimum.
