OUT-OF-LUCK WILL'S STUCK ON REPEAT

WILL VAULKS admits he is in danger of sounding like a broken record after Oxford's latest hard-luck story.

All good things must come to an end as Gary Rowett waved goodbye to his personal 15-game unbeaten run against Preston.

Vaulks talked up another valiant display from the Championship’s nearly men but knows actions speak louder than words after one win in nine.

Brian De Keersmaecker pulled one back early in the second half to give Rowett's relegation battlers hope, but they dropped into the bottom three following this latest setback.
