Brown 'feeling good' after return to action

Oxford United defender Ciaron Brown says he is "feeling good" after making his first league appearance of the season in Saturday's 1-0 win against Derby County.

The Northern Ireland international kept a clean sheet in his return following six month's out with a knee injury.

"I think while being out on the sidelines, when you are imagining playing again, getting this sort of result with a win and a clean sheet is what you would wish for as a defender", Brown told BBC Radio Oxford.

"My body feels OK, it kind of feels better than I expected it to be so that is good.

"One of the things that I may have forgotten over the time of being out is how much the fans give to the team and myself, so when I got out onto the pitch it was nice to hear and it shocked me a little bit if I'm honest."

The U's will be looking to secure back-to-back wins for the first time this season, when to action when they travel to Wrexham on Wednesday night (19:45 BST).

The Welsh side are one of five teams in the division yet to claim victory at home this season.

"I can respect what Wrexham are doing. I kept an eye out for them when they were in League One because obviously it was a big story," Brown added.

"They did really well and now they are stepping up to the Championship where anyone can beat anyone.

"We obviously go there with the confidence that we can get what we want to from the game."
