On Tuesday we travel to Weymouth for another exciting league game in the Blue Square Premier. Fresh from our 3-1 Setanta win against Mansfield; perhaps we can now turn our away record around, which up until Thursday quite frankly had been terrible.
With only one away win in the league before the Mansfield game; things weren’t looking at all good for us. Our home form has been excellent, away though we’ve been absolutely dreadful, and the only away win we’d managed in the league all season was against struggling Northwich. We won away against Blue Square South side Dorchester Town in the FA Cup, even that took extra time to happen however, and despite ultimately winning 3-1; it was hardly a glorious display of football against the team from the league below.
Oxford United currently sits 13th in the league; 10 points off the play-offs, and 9 points above the relegation zone. With a game in hand that could see us move within 7 points of the play-off places however; an away win on Tuesday is absolutely crucial if we’re to make a serious go at making the play-offs this season.
Jim Smith’s yellow and blue army will really need to attack the game with all their might this coming Tuesday; it doesn’t need to be pretty, as long as we pick up all three points though then that’s all that really matters.
