Obviously if Currie is fit then don’t change the back four & stick with the same four who started at Preston.

Would like to see Jeon played on the left as a direct left winger in a home game (done very well there v Sunderland) & Peart Harris may need to be taken out as he’s been off it a bit recently.
I'm sure I heard Matt Bloomfield say in one of his interviews that Currie's substitution by Spencer at half-time at Preston was tactical rather than an injury.
 
Was talking to a chap yesterday, I told him about the passing of my dad , but I emphasised he got his 100 birthday telegram from the Queen . The chap replied, I can go one better, on my Daughters fourteenth birthday she had a phone call from Andrew Mountbatten !

There are so many questions and inappropriate answers to this................ :ROFLMAO:
 
I’m reserving judgment to say whether or not we will have a chance to stay up until after the result of this one.

It’s not quite the 6-pointer WBA was, but it’s very very important not to lose. I do think, to continue momentum and to really drag Blackburn into it, we need to win.

The key will be to take our early chances. We struggle at home and midweek this season - now is the time to change that.

Can we win? Yes. Will we win? I don’t know.

I sure hope so.
 
Only 2 shot on target the ones that went in. I think
Yes, both late in the game. The commentators were talking about it becoming the first Championship game ever to feature no attempts on target not long before the 1st goal.
 
Just don't lose ,we all want a win ,keep the expectations low ,be patient a we will all take a horrible win .COYYs
They will be coming to us expecting a win ,this is going to be a tough game after 2 great results but we've got to be very careful we don't get ahead of ourselves. I want us to win ,but Blackburn have been a solid championship team iam expecting them to have more of the ball but I certainly am hoping that our passion and effort gets us over the line.
 
Blackburn have been getting progressively worst for the past few seasons, so not surprising they are in the relegation mix. This is a real opportunity to get another 3 points and win 3 on the bounce snd have the momentum at the bottom… win this and we give ourselves a real chance!!

We really should have won at their place albeit both sides were awful on the night. I think we’ve strengthened more than they have, we have some momentum, and we’re at home - believe!
 
It’s been a disastrous season for me watching Oxford at the Kassam. I’ve seen us win once! (Ipswich).
I’ve witnessed many impressive draws and sickening losses and managed to be unavailable for the home wins v Derby, Southampton and West Brom.
Despite having a season ticket I’m wondering whether or not to attend this week’s games (near 6-hour return journey from home) as staying away has proved more fruitful.
Dilemma.

Stay away 😎
 
Expecting another low possession game for us, but hopefully what possession we do have is effective. We need to be clinical and take our opportunities, which will definitely come.

We have been looking more confident and energised recently, so hoping for another solid defensive performance, with plenty of pressing and closing down, giving Burn little time on the ball and making us difficult to break down.

2-1 and the mighty yellows continue to give us hope.
 
If Leicester and Pompey both lose tonight that will really ramp things up for tomorrow. Whatever happens we’ve given ourselves a proper shout and the season doesn’t look like petering out into a timid relegation. Will be interesting to see how we approach tomorrow, we have to use this recent momentum to grab the initiative and get hold of the game. Blackburn are poor and not really any better than us.
 
On a more serious note, are we all wearing our Black kits tomorrow?
 
For all those sides fighting it out at the lower end of the table home form is going to be vital in securing survival.

Ex premiership sides such as Leicester, West Brom and Blackburn have the added pressure of their fans expectations especially at home, home support can easily turn negative and nasty when things don’t go as hoped , we saw that when we won at Leicester.

As OUFC supporters we have to make sure we stay positive with the team throughout the whole match against Blackburn and for the rest of the of the season. It’s so important we do so.

Dilemma? Seems clear to me.
