Patterson believes his players can kick-start their season

Oxford manager Darren Patterson has said his team can improve even further after they came from a goal behind to take all three points at Northwich.

Tuesday's 2-1 win was their first away from home this season and Patterson told BBC Oxford there is still more to come from his players.

"I have got a very honest bunch of boys, they've been under the cosh and under pressure.

"We are grinding things out which suits me until we get everybody back."

Patterson added: "There is no reason why we can't use the last two performances as a springboard for the rest of the season."
