13' Goal Oxford United. Marcus Browne with quick feet to take him past the Rovers defence and finish past Marko Marsoi. 1-1 #DRFC #OXFDON

Great play down the left involving Ruffels, Hanson and BROWNE sees the winger cut into the area, ride a tackle and shoot under Marosi to level the scores. #OUFC 1-1 #DRFC

Playing a dangerous game here. Same defensive frailties I’m afraid. Same players giving the ball away and Copps and Wilks have gone missing. Copps looks slow and gives the ball away and Wilks is just not in this game. Please let’s have a blood and thunder second half.

We need to improve this half, we're our own worst enemy again.

Downing needs to come off before he's sent off, Anderson should start the second half.

49' Goal Oxford. James Henry from close range. Marsoi was able to stop the first effort but was unable to do anything about the strike from the rebound. 3-1 #DRFC #OXFDON


Eastwood's long kick is perfect for Gavin Whyte who controls it and drives towards goal. His shot is blocked but James HENRY is on hand to put the rebound into the net. #OUFC 2-1 #DRFC

Stick or twist?

Do we look after the ball and see the game out for a point, given that Posh are losing?

Or do we go for it, try to get the 3 points and bury Posh and Cov's hopes in the process?

Decisions, decisions.....

Me, I've long been an advocate of never settling for a point. However, given where we are in the season and our position in the league, I'd snatch your hand off for one now.

Agreed,but we should just carry on like an average game,we are decent attacking side as is,not go gung-ho for a winner and raising the risk of conceding.

Me too, RTR. With Posh 3 down, a point would go a long securing our place in the play offs.

Could ultimately be the point that makes the difference, that. Peterborough need to win their last two now against tough opponents, and Coventry are out of it unless they thrash us by 6 or 7.

Coventry could do it with a huge win over us. Massively unlikely but don't forget, 14 goals is "only" a 7-0 win over us, and of course in this scenario they will have beaten Shrewsbury tomorrow too to bring that gap down.

If we only need to avoid a 7-0 loss next Saturday then I'll be going in feeling relaxed!

Shrewsbury (playing Coventry) are safe.
Plymouth, fourth bottom, can catch them on points but have to overturn a seventeen goal deficit.
