Oxford United v Barrow

Oxford United will be looking to bounce back from defeat to Kidderminster last weekend when they entertain Barrow in the Blue Square Premier on Saturday.

The Yellows remain six points clear at the top of the table, but boss Chris Wilder has warned his charges not to grow complacent.

He told the Banbury Cake: "We've got to start better, in both halves, and we've got to stick to the plan," he said.

"If we go our there and start doing our little bits and pieces, and individuals start thinking this is how I should go about it, then we have problems.

"And I understand it's not black and white, because when the ball rolls, players have to make instant decisions themselves, but there is a plan.

"We're all disappointed when things don't go well and we lose a game of football, but they're a genuine bunch, and I'm sure they'll come back with an even greater desire to get themselves back on track with three points."

The U's will be without the services of striker Matt Green, who has been ruled out for up to a month with a knee injury.

Barrow will be desperate for a win away from home as they look to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

Boss David Bayliss is likely to introduce new striker Jordan Bowery who joined the club on loan this week from League Two Chesterfield.
