Oxford United manager Chris Wilder named an unchanged team, with the same subs, at Stockport today.
That was something of a surprise, after two defeats in a row, but Wilder clearly wanted to give what he considers his best team another go.
The pitch at Edgeley Park, which Stockport County share with Sale Sharks rugby league team, was in a dreadful state with very little grass between the two penalty areas.
So it was not going to be an afternoon for passing the ball.
