Oxford United were relieved that their game at Salisbury was on, as they attempt to stay top of the league.

The ground thawed after a heavy overnight frost, and at kick-off time the ground didn't look any worse than it was at the Kassam Stadium on Boxing Day.

U's boss Chris Wilder retained Adam Chapman at right back, with Frannie Green taking over the central midfield role between Dannie Bulman and Simon Clist in the absence of the suspended Adam Murray.

Up front, it was Alfie Potter, James Constable and Jack Midson.
