STEVE Seddon is happy for the games to come thick and fast as Oxford United look to find their rhythm.
The U’s are back at the Kassam Stadium tonight for the visit of Sky Bet Championship side Swansea City in the Carabao Cup first round (7.45pm).
It is just three days since United’s first home game of the season ended in dramatic fashion, as Tyler Goodrham scored a brilliant late winner against Cambridge United.

United have a strong recent record at Grenoble Road, with only ten defeats in their last 50 matches, and left back Seddon is keen to maintain that momentum.
The 24-year-old said: “If you keep winning then you’ve got a chance and that’s what we want to do.
“We were good at home last year and hopefully we will be again this year.
“Especially early in the season you want to play Saturday-Tuesday, because when the Saturday game is done you want to crack on.
“You’d rather play games than train, so I think the boys are looking forward to it.
“It’ll be a good test to see where we’re at. I don’t think their results have been what they wanted in the first two games, but it’s Championship opposition so they’ll be decent.”
United have not lost in the first round of the Carabao Cup since 2017, when Cheltenham Town claimed a 4-3 win at the Kassam Stadium.
Their last victory over higher-division opposition in a competitive game was in September 2019, beating West Ham United 4-0 in the third round of this competition.
