LIAM Manning will not make priorities for the different opponents Oxford United are set to face in their push to avoid relegation.
The U’s have nine games left to pull away from the bottom four in Sky Bet League One, starting with a trip to play-off hopefuls Peterborough United on Saturday.
Manning’s side then come up against other sides competing at the top end of the third tier, including Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton Wanderers and Barnsley, before teams struggling at the bottom in the shape of Forest Green Rovers and Accrington Stanley.
United head coach Manning said: “Every game is worth three points, you can’t put extra emphasis on any of the others.
“The exciting bit about League One football is that everybody can beat everybody.
“It’s why this sport is so fantastic, the expectation and what people think going into games – you can blow that out the window in League One.
“The biggest message to the group is concentrate on us, concentrate on what we can control, concentrate on doing your jobs really well, concentrate on sticking together and delivering the instructions that you’re asked to do.
“We’ve got quality in the group so if we can do that, we’ll be competitive.”
