The Blues make the short mid-week trip to Oxford United this evening looking to end their run of three straight draws.

Was also the victim on a triple second-half change on Saturday and could be dropped with Lane returning to the fold. Photo: Jason Brown
18. SUB 6 - Dane Scarlett
Oh what a goal would do for the youngsters' confidence. Looked bright when he came off the bench on Saturday and could follow suit tonight. Photo: Jason Brown
