Oxford United has not been in action now since a 2-0 win over Salisbury City on January 1st. During which time the club has been deducted 5 Blue Square Premier points, and brought in two new players in the form of loan signings Adam Chapman and Shane Killock.
A lot has happened at the club over the course of the last 12 days; no games have been played however, but that’s all about to change as Oxford host York City this evening in the FA Trophy. With the points deduction having more or less ruled out the play-offs this season for Oxford; the FA Trophy provides the team with its one chance to redeem something from the 2008/09 campaign.
The team will hopefully show a lot of fight in this evening’s game, a win really needs to be achieved after all the negativity that has surrounded the club of late, and having the team head through to the next round of the FA Trophy would be absolutely excellent to see.
It has been a bad week for Oxford, a win would be a fine way to round off such a week however, and if the club can win tonight then hopefully this can be the start of a spectacular end of season run. If the team can win tonight in the FA Trophy then the club will be into the last sixteen and well on its way to the finals.
Five more FA Trophy games need to be won in order for Oxford to lift the Trophy, and under the management of Chris Wilder I truly believe that this is well within the clubs grasp.
Tonight the club faces a very important game, and I have full faith in Oxford United’s ability to win this evening and go on to lift the trophy in May. Good luck to Oxford United for this evening, and here’s to hoping that the night ends with a win.
