Oxford have 'reached lofty heights away' - Rowett

Gary Rowett has won 13 of his 44 games in charge of Oxford United

Oxford United have made progress in terms of their away performances, according to head coach Gary Rowett.

The U's head to Norwich City in the Championship on Tuesday evening (19:45 GMT) having lost three of their past four road trips, while their opponents have lost all seven of their home games and will have Philippe Clement in charge for his first match at Carrow Road.

"We'll always go somewhere to try to have a gameplan to win, that's a difficult thing to do in the Championship," Rowett told BBC Radio Oxford.

"We've reached lofty heights this season with winning the same number of games as we did last year away already, which is a big positive in terms of our away performances. We've won two games away and we'd like to add to that."

Oxford have won at Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday so far while also picking up a draw at QPR, but have lost their other five away games.

However, Rowett says they will not just be satisfied with drawing matches.

"It's very naive to think you can just turn points into three points very easily with one tactical masterpiece - if someone can tell me how we can do that easily then I'm all ears, I'm happy to listen.

"This division is a battle - sometimes a point is fine but I appreciate a point is not what we're looking for and you don't want to go too long without winning and believe it or not we are trying to win games."
