Karl Robinson confirmed in his pre-match interview that Mark Marshall is likely to miss with the niggling injury that saw him miss Saturday’s win over Doncaster Rovers.
Ben Reeves is fit an eligible for selection but Lewis Page will not be available after playing 60 minutes for the U23s on Monday afternoon. Harry Lennon remains sidelined.
For Oxford, Joe Rothwell is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season on Saturday.
Former Addick Jon Obika could return after recovering from a groin injury but Dwight Tiendalli and Gino van Kessel are out injured.
A shame that Marshall got back from his knee injury so quickly, but seems to have picked up a different problem. I bet he'll be desperate to be fit for the Bradford match
Yeah shame he as the ability to change a game when fit. But I'd rather we rest him for Bradford where you hope he'll be extra up for it against his former team.
Did you work that out by yourself. Would have taken me ages
I would not have a clue if this is all right or wrong, I take on trust that it is all kosher .. the possible permutations are lottery winning like .. what it shows is how one result or series of results can and does radically affect the whole table..
we can go third or as low as ninth, P'boro could go up one and/or down seven places, Blackburn nine places down etc. etc. ..
the only certainty is that I wanna see us leave Ox with 3 points while the Shrews and Wigan get nil points
Not sure which way this will go? In League 1 anyone can beat anyone else. Oxford are doing well and we scraped home on Saturday. 1-0 to Oxford and more work to be done.
Dropping Konsa for Sarr is an odd one after Konsa's very decent performance on Saturday. Reeves for Clarke was gonna happen at some point but is Reeves fit for 90+ minutes? Another strange one. If Reeves is fitter than Clarke, what's Clarke doing on the bench? Does Reeves get to start through the middle so all 3 attacking mids are given the roles to which they are most suited? Not an accommodation Clarke was afforded on Saturday to the detriment of his and RH's showing. Hopefully I'll not be tempted to follow this too closely online, no more effective way to norse up one's evening than dipping into the scores while Charlton are playing away. Much better to get the pain over and done in one go after the final whistle. Chins up, boys'n'girls!

Reeves and Sarr come into the side with Konsa and Clarke dropped to the bench
Going to be plenty of games for him over the course of the season - Also confuses Oxford a little, those two changes they may not have expected
Clark has been great for us this season but probably needs a rest
OK, rotation and BC has played nearly every game but hope he's not pushed out permanently.
Unless they're going 4-4-1-1 with Jack Payne playing off him
Seeing him taking the piss out of League One attackers has been one of the highlights from his last two games

But it might also be that Sarr's height is seen as an advantage in this particular game?
Final thought, Bauer and Konsa are both right footed - so perhaps Sarr, being left footed offers a better balance in tandem with Bauer?
Robinson could be rotating them with Konsa to come back in against Bradford
Last season he went through an awful patch when he didnt have an established Centre-Back partner
In about four games now he's played with Sarr | Konsa | Pearce and has been excellent
