Result: Won 2-1
As the table began to take shape in the 95/96 season, we found ourselves sitting just outside the playoff places, but just one point behind opponents Stockport who were then occupying the final playoff spot. The match is notable for being Joey Beauchamp's debut appearance back in a yellow shirt after a couple of disastrous transfers and it wasn't long before his influence was felt, as we took the lead just 6 minutes in. Stockport equalised soon after, however a towering Paul Moody header settled the match before half time.

Right in the middle of our unstoppable run to promotion, this match was the one blip in our form during the final months of the season, coming in to the match having won 7 from our last 8 games, we left Edgeley Park with nothing. Lining up without Matt Elliott, our defense was considerably weaker than usual and it showed as we conceded first after failing to clear our lines after a long throw in to the box. A moment of Joey Beauchamp magic levelled the scores, but more poor defending from a cross saw us a goal behind again soon after. A second half goal from Martin Aldridge levelled things again, but 2 late Stockport goals sealed it, ex-scummer Andy Mutch scoring a hat-trick and stupidly celebrating in front of the travelling Oxford fans. Elliott's replacement that day, Steve Wood, would never wear the yellow shirt again.

Going into this match there was cause for concern, having started the season disappointingly and were sitting in 19th position, while Stockport were just outside the playoffs. Our concerns beforehand were quickly confirmed, as we shipped three goals in the first half. After scoring two very late goals in the final 6 minutes it appeared as if we might stage a remarkable comeback but it proved to be too late and we headed home with another defeat.

Under Malcolm Shotton's stewardship we had managed to slightly improve our form, having been in serious trouble at one point. Sitting in 15th and just 4 points clear of the relegation zone we were still perilously close to relegation when we welcomed Stockport to the Manor, who were in 8th place and just 2 points from the playoffs and a Premiership place. However, it was the wrong time for them to be playing us as we were starting to put together a decent run of form, and we somehow managed to put 3 past them. Steve Davis got the first from a corner, new loan signing O'Neill Donaldson got the second and Kevin Francis the third, looking remarkably like Bambi as he picked his way past the Stockport defence before blasting in from an angle.
