Championship 11/03/2026 - Build-Up: Oxford United v Blackburn Rovers

[Swinny]

We've started turning around some of our worst traits in recent games - WBA and Preston both on poor runs that we would usually roll over and help them end, so maybe we can shift the most irksome hoodoo and finally deliver some decent back-to-back performances. Easier said than done with important, winnable home games in close succession though.

I'll take a cagey 1-0, but hope we go out with a similar purpose as we did against PNE.

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.

They are all worse than us at the moment look at current form table

Why is this match being played on Wednesday night rather than the normal Tuesday?

Sky, they split the midweek fixtures over two days in the championship.

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.

He would say that after we won!
