favourites, about 30,000 supporters from Oxford have come to Wembley

hoping for a different outcome to last year when they lost to Barnsley

in the final. But it was pretty much the same, it

disappointing defeat. Coventry to an early lead and in the 55th minute a

superb strike made it too. Oxford had their chances and improved

towards the end of the match, scoring a late on. Depressing but it

is the fourth time we have been in the third time I have seen here. The

one-on-one after they scored, that change the match. I am disappointed.

east but in the last few hours it started to melt away and the process

will continue, most places seeing lengthy clear spells overnight and

much like last night it will turn a bit chilly. We might see mist and
