..... after all, they have two former Brentford players in the team.
They travel to play Crawley Town who's problems have been well documented in the media and on this site. Actually they started the season quite well, but have now lost 4 of last 6 and were comprehensively beaten by fellow strugglers Southport, at the weekend.
Huge difference between the two sides, both on and off the pitch. Town have averaged crowds of under 1,000 this season, United will probably have that many travelling supporters tonight. Over 6,500 saw them draw 1-1 with Grays on Saturday, in a stadium that would be the envy of every other Conference club.
They have the set up and backing to really progress now and the potential to be a Championship side.Boss Jim Smith has a squad with plenty of league experience. They will be desperate to make up for the two points dropped at the weekend and will be looking to add to their 7-2-0 start to the season.
The "U's" will be boosted by the return of Rob Duffy and Chris Hargreaves, who will join fellow former Bee, Eddie Hutchinson in the starting 11. These are two players who will give you 100% and make sure that everyone else does too. In form striker Steve Basham, is looking for his 50th goal for Oxford and is very keen to get it tonight, in front of the SKY cameras.
Feel the whole side will want to impress and prove that their stay in the Conference, will be a brief one.
3 points Oxford -1/2 1.80 asian line.
Good Luck.
