THE OPPOSITION
Brewers boss Dino Maamria knows that his side have been on the wrong end of results in recent meetings between the teams.
“It’ll be a tough test,” he said. “We haven’t gotten the right results against Oxford since I’ve been at the club. Every time we play against them, we are on the wrong end of the results and it’s about time to change that.
“They have had some positive results, so we will need our fans behind us massively. It is not the time to dwell on past results. We’ve got to pull together as a football club, players, staff, fans, and we have to really galvanise the place and make The Pirelli Stadium a difficult place to come.
“I’ve said to the players that we can’t change what has happened in the past. We are where we are and all that we can do is start picking up results and climb up that table game by game.”
