Oxford United club captain and midfielder Cameron Brannagan says his side want to take "every single point" left available this campaign.

Oxford United club captain and midfielder Cameron Brannagan has said his side want to take "every single point" left available this season. The U's are in a tricky position with three games remaining, currently 22nd in the Championship table and are five points below Blackburn Rovers having played a game less. They were narrowly beaten by Derby on Saturday and host Wrexham on Tuesday before games against Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall.

"We have to brush ourselves down and go again," Brannagan told BBC Radio Oxford. "We have a big game Tuesday, three games left and we want to go and try and win every single one of them. "There's nine points to play for and we want to take every single point.

The fans got behind us the whole game and didn't stop even at the end. "I'm sure the Kassam is going to be rocking on Tuesday and we're going to need every single one of them - it's another massive game. " If Oxford were to lose or draw on Tuesday against Wrexham then they could face relegation if results go against them in midweek for Blackburn, West Bromwich Albion, Charlton and Portsmouth.

But a win for Matt Bloomfield's side would ensure that cannot happen until at least the weekend.
