IPL 2026: 'You can bowl this too, right?' - R Ashwin questions Hardik Pandya's death-over call
R Ashwin critiques Hardik Pandya's decision-making in IPL 2026 after a loss to CSK.
Oxford United faces a dire situation, sitting six points behind Charlton Athletic with only two games remaining. They must win against Sheffield Wednesday to have any hope of avoiding relegation.
[BBC]
After Tuesday's home defeat to Wrexham and Blackburn's win on Wednesday, Oxford are six points adrift of Charlton Athletic with two games to play and a slightly worse goal difference.
Rock-bottom Sheffield Wednesday visit the Kassam Stadium on Saturday (15:00 BST), although Charlton have the opportunity to ensure their own survival before that game even kicks-off with a home game against Hull City at 12:30 BST.
Here are a selection of your responses:
John: There is always hope. Whatever the result, Matt Bloomfield has been a breath of fresh air and created a team which is 'in' games now and playing much better football. It might be too late to avoid relegation but I'm excited for him and Oxford in League One.
Rob: I'm quietly confident that it will go to the final games. Charlton have lost their past four home games to Bristol City, Preston, Norwich and Ipswich so hopefully that trend will continue on Saturday lunchtime against Hull.
I think we will beat Sheffield Wednesday in the afternoon as well. We are certainly capable of winning at Millwall on the final day and Swansea will hopefully beat Charlton too. It's all up for grabs!
Sam: It's the most wafer thin of wafer thin slices of a chance. If Oxford pull off two wins then they deserve to stay up, but, after the performance against Wrexham I feel we're looking at a team that's all but given up.
I think Bloomfield was the right man for the job, I think he's done brilliantly, but if I pop on my tin foil hat, I think he got the job because he will do us well in League One.
Sue: We should never have appointed Gary Rowett he has now proved it with his failed attempt to save a big club like Leicester. I hope that the true Oxford supporters will get behind the team whether Charlton win or lose.
Alan: Where there's life, there's hope; but being brutally honest we've not ever really looked like a Championship side - most other teams have looked stronger, fitter, better organised and technically superior.
Oxford United needs to win their remaining two games and hope Charlton Athletic loses to avoid relegation.
Oxford United's next match is against Sheffield Wednesday at the Kassam Stadium.
Oxford United is currently six points adrift of Charlton Athletic, who are just above the relegation zone.
If Charlton Athletic wins against Hull City, it could seal Oxford United's relegation before they even play their match against Sheffield Wednesday.

It's been a wild two years and I'll miss being in the big leagues, but here's to a season of consolidation, rediscovering how to pass the ball, and winning a few more games.
Andy S: It was always going to be a struggle to stay up this season and we need a miracle against Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall to stay up, even if Charlton to lose both games, not sure I can see it happening.
We're probably more a League One-level club at the moment but come the new stadium, who knows? Brighter times ahead I hope.
Derek: Sadly a little too late, we are too good to go down but results didn't go our way. Portsmouth a typical example, we should have picked up three points. We will be in the mix to come back up next season.
Jonathan: Hopelessly positive despite all evidence pointing clearly to relegation; at least we've battled, the players have done us proud and we have put ourselves in a position where something might be possible on the final day! As they say, it's the hope...
