Wilder's training sessions have been interupted by the weather

Manager Chris Wilder says Oxford United's players won't be using disrupted preparations as an excuse if they underperform against Barrow.

The cold weather has meant the U's players have been unable to train properly for much of the last week.

"We have made the best of it and the players have had a little break, possibly longer that I would have liked, " Wilder told BBC Oxford.

"But we will make sure we are bang at it and no excuses."

He added: "It has been frustrating because we like to come to work and train and get ourselves going, but I still expect the players to produce a performance on Saturday."
