Oxford v Swansea Sat 02 Nov 12:30
Early kick-off for our next match and it’s a 314 miles round trip via the M4-A34 to the 12.5k capacity Kassam Stadium, home of Championship newcomers Oxford United. Four miles from the city centre the West end of the ground behind the goal has no stand and is walled off and used as a car park.
Head-Coach Des Buckingham guided Oxford to promotion via the League One play-offs last season, defeating Bolton in the final.
They sit three places above us in the table and are unbeaten at home with 3 wins and 3 draws, but are without a win in the last 7 games, 5 draws and 2 defeats.
Swans player links with Oxford - Jeremy Charles played for Oxford from 1985-1987 after seven years at Swansea.
Swans are bottom but one in the form table and are in ‘no man’s land’ without a win in the last 6 games and without a goal in their last 5.
It should be an interesting game then!
