OXFORD United have been handed a bye in the first round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
Michael Appleton's men are one of four teams in the South (West) Section to bypass the first stage, along with Bristol Rovers, Coventry City and Wycombe Wanderers.
It is the third time in five seasons the U's have received a bye.
Last year they went out in the first round, losing 2-0 at Cheltenham Town.
