Oxford United midfielder Alex Rodriguez Gorrin has told the Oxford Mail that he is looking forward to the U’s trip to AFC Wimbledon this Sunday.
The game, which is a feisty affair anyway, will have more sparks with former MK Dons boss Karl Robinson in the U’s dugout, but the 26-year-old insists he is ready for a scrappy afternoon.
He told the Oxford Mail: “Those type of games I like. If it’s a scrap and I have to win headers and tackles that’s what I’m there for.
“The boys were talking about it in the changing room. You have to adapt and overcome – I think that’s the most important thing.
“We need to go and get three points again, that’s what you need to achieve our goal.”
It’s the U’s first away game since their unbeaten run came to an end at MK Dons earlier this month, but it’s the first away trip in three days with the U’s travelling to Doncaster for their New Year’s Day fixture.
But Gorrin, who has been an integral part of the team this season, feels that a win will give the players a much-needed energy boost.
He added: “I think you recover so much quicker when you’re winning. You’re happier, you feel fresh and want the games to come quickly. Hopefully, we can keep climbing.”
