Chris Wilder`s team will surely be under immense scrutiny from the on looking fans against Accrington Stanley as the Kass Stad Saturday.
An abysmal showing against Port Vale live on Sky, Monday evening where the U`s were mauled apart had fans questioning if the team had turned a corner.
It`s a good time for Paul Cook`s team who are placed at 11th in the table to come to the stadium. The Oxford fans and team could get a little edgy the longer the match remains without a goal or even worse go a goal behind.
On a plus side Andy Whing looks like he will make a start for the first time this season and with other injuries improving the strength of the team is getting slightly better also. Jake wright will miss the game through suspension.
