Venue: Manor Ground
Attendance: 5287
Result: Won 1-0
This was a highly anticipated match between two strong sides, with an in-form side that had won three of the last 4 (including a 9-1 demolition of Dorchester Town in the FA Cup) against third-placed Crewe. Oxford dominated the match, but the Crewe goalkeeper pulled off some remarkable saves to keep the score down to a respectable 1-0. David Rush was the only name on the scoresheet, looping the ball into the top corner. Some spectacular saves and remarkable misses followed, but we were unable to score any more while rarely being troubled at our own end. But a good day, having utterly dominated and outplayed a strong Crewe side.

Result: Won 2-1
For the penultimate match of the season we travelled to Crewe needing a win to keep up the pressure on second-placed Balckpool and to keep our hopes for automatic promotion alive and having just beaten Shrewsbury Town 6-0 a few days before, hopes were high. For some reason Crewe chose not to make the match all-ticket resulting in an Oxford invasion and an away end that was full to bursting over an hour before kickoff (as well as many more in the home end). Crewe also had hopes of promotion, sitting in 5th and in a playoff place. Paul Moody got the scoring underway with a powerful shot from the edge of the area. The score was doubled in the second half with a headed goal from Joey Beauchamp, but there was still time for late nerves as Crewe pulled a goal back, but fortunately we were able to hold on for the victory. Meanwhile, Blackpool had just been beaten 2-1 at home to Walsall, putting Oxford above them in second with just one game left.

Result: Lost 1-2
A defeat away at newly-promoted Crewe stoked the by now familiar fears of relegation as potential relegation rivals picked up three points against us and moved above us in the table, bringing us one place closer to the dreaded relegation zone, this coming in the midst of an awful run of form, having not won for almost a month and failing to beat other strugglers such as Man City at home. Having taken the lead we then pushed the self-destruct button, conceding two soft goals (including a presumably rare goal from future Oxford 'favourite' Steve Anthrobus!) to hand Crewe the three points.

Having pulled ourselves away from the relegation scrap (albeit by just 5 points) and into 15th place, we played out a bore draw with midtable Crewe, as we squandered numerous chances and were unable to score despite totally dominating game. A disappointing result in a match where we really should have picked up 3 points.
