An even sterner test for our lads on Saturday away at Oxford who have been on a great run until they got mugged by Stanley last night having dominated the game and missed a string of chances only to get hit on the break.
Currently they sit 11 points ahead of us in 5th place and are one of the teams we need to overhaul if our playoff hopes are to be realised - so in that sense it's another "must win".
Karl Robinson's team usually play an attack-minded 433 and are one of the top scorers in the division with 54 goals so far (compared to our 44) so our tactics are going to have to be spot on. Plus they've just added former West Ham striker Sam Baldock to their line up in a bid to get promotion.
Also in their talented squad is former Liverpool midfielder Cameron Brannagan who scored a record 4 penalties in the same game during their 7 - 2 demolition of Gillingham the other week.
The Kassam Stadium pitch is the same length as the Unibol but is 6 yds wider and has a capacity of 12500.
Evatt suggesting that there'll be a few changes in the starting line up for this one so we may be in unexplored territory so yet again I'm hoping we'll come through - a draw would be a good result against this lot but really we need to win - somehow. After the Charlton game, I'm feeling slightly more confident that Evatt has the tactical nous to give them a real challenge.
