Done it. Should have been more but a win is a win.

The pressing was outstanding. Out of possession, we are a much better proposition nowadays.

Defensively really solid. Sam Long has found another level.

Brannagan was everywhere but with purpose.

Basically, if we’d had that starting XI from August, we wouldn’t be where we are.

Bring on Charlton. They’re out of the relegation conversation now but we’ve got another job to do.

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Blackburn 3 shots on target in 2 games

 

[Foxy]

We have won. Keep the faith

 

[Cosoufc]

Let’s get another Southampton

 

[Symp59]

SOUTHAMPTON IS MY FAVOURITE PORT CITY!

 

[Foxy]

Southampton score

Pfew.....but job done.
To be fair, Blackburn didn't actually have a decent effort at goal the entire game - the one goalmouth scramble was the only time they ever really threatened. Both due to a top notch defensive display and them being a really, really poor side.

Along with the three wins, that's the other great thing about this past two weeks - we've seen that two of the sides down there with us are absolutely horrendous. Every chance for us to get more points than them both over the last nine games.

Now, let's go and make it four against Charlton. Don't think they're very good either, it'll be a scrap, and they might just be thinking their safe after today's big win and take their eye off the ball..........

And a Saints equalizer just to top things off!

Great win, great run of wins to set up one hell of a fight between the 5 teams separated by two points.

Charlton is massive now, but they all are as who knows what will happen elsewhere.

 

[unification]

Although they’re on 47, could QPR be sucked into this?

Same points as Charlton but five defeats in six, barely a goal scored and thumped by Middlesbrough and Southampton lately.

Great win, great run of wins to set up one hell of a fight between the 5 teams separated by two points.

Charlton is massive now, but they all are as who knows what will happen elsewhere.

Actually West Brom are three points behind Pompey now after that late Saints equalizer!

 

[eraser]

It's 2 from 5,for relegation, or 2 from 4 if Pompey win their game in hand....Beat Charlton and game on....

 

[Eric Blair]

Inevitably it will come down to us needing a win on the last day to guarantee safety. It will be 0-0 and in the 89th minute we get a penalty.

In my nightmares, Shemmy steps up….

I love Shemmy but if he takes a penalty it’s either a rocket top bins or it’s going out for a throw in.

 

[londonyellow]

Anyone else feel really sick still?

 

[JerryL]

ITS HAPPENING

 

[GreenMachine]

What an absolute touch that Southampton goal was and they almost won it. At last not 23rd.. Glad to get it over the line tonight what a result. Buzzing now. We move on to the Charlton game now they just beast Middlesboro they will be bang up for it we need to be right on our game. Great stuff yellows.!

 

[Symp59]

Let's just worry about us need at least 4 wins but at least now a chance ,brilliant week or 2 let's top on Saturday with the best yet Well done everyone Saturday is now even more important. Let's rest ,chill ,relax and giving it even more .We love you Oxford we do.

 

[Londox]

I'm trying very hard not to fall in love with a loan player, Lankshear is a beast.

 

[Robie]

Turned over after the whistle to see four wba players closing down Southampton defence before the ball goes up the top and Southampton equalise. We are set up nicely to pull ourselves out of this.

 

[Emilio]

To quote my Bluenose Brummie mate who wants to see Baggies and Leicester drop - "Up the f*****g yellows!"

 

[MJB]

Bloomfield has really got us purring. Let’s keep these wins coming.

Thoughts with Amelia’s family and friends - respect to the Blackburn fans for contributing to that heartbreaking tribute tonight.

The football community always does these things right.

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

It's 2 from 5,for relegation, or 2 from 4 if Pompey win their game in hand....Beat Charlton and game on....

They won't beat ipswich

 

[Londox]

I think Blackburn will go down.
One of us out of WBA, Leicester and Pompey to join them.
Come on you Yellows

 

[Ewes]

I'm trying very hard not to fall in love with a loan player, Lankshear is a beast.

Best loanee since Kemar Roofe & Paul Gerrard?

 

[OUFCwaffle]

Fan bloody tastic. I love this club.

Loudest it's been in a long long time. Whole stadium belting yellow and blue army to get us over the line.

Bring on Charlton!

 

[Twiggy85]

A massive win that, dragging teams back into trouble. I must say I doubted going so defensive but the end result fully justifies it. Let’s go and make it 4 in a row.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

That was for you Amelia

 

[Carpy]

Can I just mention the referee, stopping the game on 15 minutes so everyone had the chance to celebrate Amelia’s life was a class act, kudos to him.

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

...and exhale! Jeez that was a stressful last 14 minutes watching.

Well done lads what a run, let's keep it going on Saturday.

 

[SamLongSlidingTackle]

Mills phenomenal again. Longy also.
