Blackburn Rovers vs Oxford United Standings

Blackburn currently find themselves in 4th place after winning on the opening night of the Championship in a 6 goal thriller against Championship newcomers Derby and then drawing away to Norwich last week. Rovers fans will be pleased with the two results but should also be concerned as they have conceded two goals in both Championship matches so far.

Oxford United currently sit in 8th place after starting life in the Championship in perfect fashion as they beat Norwich 2-0 to many people's surprise. However, in Oxford's next match they had to come back from behind twice against Coventry but it still wasn't enough as Haji Wright scored the latest of late winners to gift Coventry all three points.
