[Squeezebox]

Can't see that it has been mentioned (apologies if it has), but this match is available on iFollow in the UK for those who can't be there.

That's good news Pete - would love to be there but this is the next best thing as was expecting just commentary!

Last ever game to be broadcasted in the UK on IFollow? Unless you have a VPN….however that works!

I think the reported demise of IFollow was inaccurate.

<edit> or maybe not!

We as a fan base seem pretty confident for this one. Reasons for this is a very positive run of away form that has seen us play exciting, attacking football, as well as points. At home, we are now in good form with wins against Stevrnage and Burton.

The caveat however is that we play very differently (at the moment) away from home that we do at SJP. While our form has been good at home recently, the performances haven't been symptomatic of our chance after chance recent away style form. Not knocking the boys. Just think it's worth remembering that we don't score many at home.

I think the caveat is that teams play differently against us at SJP than they do at their home grounds. Away from home teams are a bit more keen to press on to us, leaving space when we get into the middle and final thirds to attack and to move the ball quicker. At SJP, teams like Stevenage and Burton will not defend so high and crowd the middle third.

Oxford though need a win so might well play higher against us. The first goal might be very important as to how the flow of the game goes.

Oxford definitely need a win, and even that may not be enough - 4 teams vying for 2 playoff places:

Lincoln win home to Pompey who are on the beach already and Barnsley win home to Northampton and they are both in, Oxford lose out.

Barnsley pts 75 GD 18
Lincoln 74 27
Oxford 74 22
Blackpool 73 18

I am really looking forward to this game, perhaps more than any other this season.
