THE OPPOSITION
Boss Danny Cowley signed Hayden Carter, Tyler Walker, Ollie Webber, Denver Hume and Aiden O’Brien during the window and has been at a few of United's games recently in preparation for Saturday
“Oxford are a very good team, particularly in possession" he said. "I watched them against AFC Wimbledon recently and they were outstanding. They played through their opponents and got around them, while they get numbers in the box and carry a real offensive threat.
“I also saw Oxford more recently against Gillingham and they had total control, while they were awarded four penalties – I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
“Against Wigan on Tuesday, they had to show the other side of their game and really dug in. It was a feisty affair and I anticipate a tough test at the weekend.”
