All due respect to Oxford and the fact they're a very hard-working and honest side, led by a very good manager, they're where they are in the league and are the sort of team that a promotion chasing side has to be putting away.
Then Blackburn - their sense of injustice must be pretty big. We need to make it worse. |  |

Hope so, and there's a big chance to do it, but I hope people don't lose their minds if we fall short of that. It's a really gruelling run whoever you are and a little bit of a leveller. I'd have taken six points from the three aways, expecting a disappointment in one of them. Would still go along with that but if things fall our way fitness-wise then hopefully we can do more. | |

I'd personally take which I think it will be , the 4 points from both games
Oxford (w)
Blackburn (d)
More than happy with 6 obviously which would also give us massive momentum going into Cov game |  |

I'd quite like to go a goal and a man down, then score a couple in the final 5 minutes to win it. |  | | |

Both teams have only won once at home, so minimum 4, should be 6.
As long as we don't start against Oxford as we did against Hull....get at them straightaway, put the fear of god into them, hehe. |  |

I hope we score first half then the biblical rain comes, heavy, puddles everywhere, but the ref doesn’t call it off. Cantwell’s head will fall off. |  |

Oxford will be difficult, they are a resolute and direct team, we will need to be good in both boxes I actually expect a harder game than Hull.
Blackburn - no idea what to expect whatsoever. I believe they are quite strong on the counter attack so we'll need to be wary of that but equally their home record is poor.
4 points acceptable, aim for 6. |  | | |

Obviously would like 6 but realistically 4 would be a good return, although I'd rather Oxford have the point for obvious reasons. | |

it doesn't have to be, it's only 2 games in a 46 game season
who'd have thought a team who lost to charlton and failed to beat watford at home would be within touching distance of 2nd?
who'd have thought a team who failed to beat 2 of the bottom 3 would be 10 points clear at the top?
that said, we have the form and the class to get all 6 points! | |

Il take 4 points from the two Games...3 from tomorrow night |
As Blue_Heath implies, it might be better to let Oxford have the points rather than Blackburn if we're going to get 4 points rather than 6. Really open up that gap to the Budgerigars... |  | | |

I agree with the sentiment but I think Oxford are going down anyway, regardless of what Nodge do.
24. Sheff W
23. Oxford
22 is anyone from Nodge, Pompey, Blackburn, Swansea, Charlton (if they don't stop conceding shed loads) | |

You may well be right as regards Oxford. They're not looking too clever.
Blackburn and Charlton both have more than twice as many points per game as Norwich though. Are you foreseeing a big impact from Monsieur Clement?
Anyway, we all want Oxford to get zero points tomorrow night, because that will of course mean we get 3. One game at a time and all that. COYB. | | | |

The next few weeks will tell us more but I have this nagging feeling that Nodge can't surely be this hopeless for the rest of the season and Clement will surely improve something.
That said, Swansea look a busted flush and Charlton may well be dwindling now after a decent start. Blackburn are the one team in this division who seem to be impossible to predict a result for. Added to that, Pompey seem to have hit a wall. | |

Charlton looked a really poor team, despite inexplicably beating us 3-0, and I'm not surprised by their recent results.
There were a few teams near the top after 10 games, who were always likely to fall away. It only takes a short run of results to be well placed at the start of the season.
I'm still not convinced it's a terrible league this year, despite the regular claims, I think it's easy to forget that the Championship is always choc full of average teams who are all capable of a result on their day, but as we saw last season it's a huge jump to the Premier league. Compared to the football we watched last season, the drop off is huge, but i don't think it's that different to 23/24 really. Apart from the top 4 the division was bang average that season. |  |

I expected more from them, but their whole summer strategy seemed to fall on Chappers working miracles on his own. | |

When people say that, they’re really implying no respect. If I were the Oxford manager, I’d pin it on their dressing room wall.
I doubt KM and our players will be that
complacent, and quite rightly so. |  |

I’m not keen on ‘must wins’ and ‘we should do this/thats’. It’s a funny old league and anyone can beat anyone on the day. One game at a time, let’s focus on what we can control and see where it takes us. As long as we keep progressing, that’ll do me (do we could lose the next 2 and then win 6 on the bounce, that would be fine). |  |

The season looks like it could end up exactly the same way as 23/24 but with coventry town and southampton being that top 3 and fighting it out, stoke will have something to say about that, but then i think preston were in the top 3 until christmas? may have got that wrong though.

Preston were 9th on Boxing Day but I know they had a strong start and were up there with us and Leicester until they started dropping off/regressing to mean around late Sep/Oct
Top 4 was
Leics 59
Ips 53
Soton 48
Leeds 45
*all had played 24 games. | |

I agree but live in hope nothing changes. Swansea appear to be in free fall and obviously Weds are already down. Would love Oxford to stay up but can't see it. Can see Pompey struggling too and likes others have said someone always gets dragged into it, maybe Charlton? | |
