Match Preview

Oxford have no Wright Oxford will be without captain Jake Wright for their clash with Accrington. The 25-year-old defender was dismissed after picking up two yellow cards against Barnet last weekend, incurring a one-match ban. The Us will also be without long-term injury victims Tony Capaldi, Tom Craddock and Anthony Tonkin. Veteran defender Capaldi still needs at least three more weeks of recovery time as he recuperates from a back injury, while full-back Tonkin will be sidelined for another month with a hamstring problem. Striker Craddock continues to battle a knee problem which has kept the former Luton forward out of action all season. Hitman Jonathan Franks returned to parent club Middlesbrough last week after discovering his dislocated shoulder is likely to keep him out until Christmas. Accrington boss John Coleman will be without Nat Taylor and Louis Moult for the match. Taylor is in the middle of the 35-day ban he received after being sent off for Accrington and Rossendale College last season - before the midfielder had penned professional terms. Meanwhile, forward Moult has returned to parent club Stoke after his month-long loan deal with Stanley expired earlier this week. Coleman has no new injury worries but he may opt to make tactical changes as his Accrington side bid to end a run of three games without a win. Charlie Bennett will be pushing for a starting berth after the midfielder missed out in the 2-0 defeat to Crewe last week following his return from a three-match ban.

Match Report

Accrington deserve point at Kassam Oxford failed to hold onto a lead at home for the fourth time this season as Accrington hit back after trailing at half-time to draw 1-1 at the Kassam Stadium. Peter Murphy drove in a 62nd-minute equaliser from 20 yards, and it was no more than Stanley deserved after they carved out most of the game's best chances. A deflected free-kick from Paul McLaren in the 35th minute gave Oxford the lead. The midfielder's shot from 25 yards struck Luke Joyce and totally wrong-footed keeper Sean Murdoch. The visitors had good reason to feel aggrieved about being behind at the break. Dean Winnard's header from Sean Hessey's free-kick beat Oxford goalkeeper Ryan Clarke but came back off the inside of the post. And when Wes Fletcher followed up to knock the ball over the line, the linesman ruled he had been offside. Clarke also made two terrific stops to keep Accrington out. He followed up a fingertip save from Fletcher's lob with a fine reaction save at his near post from Kevin Long's header. Man-of-the-match Clare also saved from Kevin Long's header in the second hlaf. But the Us nearly snatched victory through Alfie Potter, who saw his low shot denied by the legs of goalkeeper Murdoch. Accrington are still looking for their first away win since February, but this was an improved showing after last week's 2-0 home defeat by Crewe.
