Billy Turley will be aiming for his 23rd clean sheet of the season when Oxford United end the 2007-8 season at Ebbsfleet this evening.

The Oxford United goalkeeper, who was only beaten to the player-of-the-year awards because Luke Foster had a brilliant campaign, has the best clean-sheets record in the Blue Square Premier.

He has recovered from a knock he picked up against his former club Rushden in midweek to take his place between the sticks at Stonebridge Road.

The U's are bidding for a fifth successive victory to take into the start of next season.

Said boss Darren Patterson: "On the form we're in then we'd like the season to continue, but the important thing now is to take this into next season.

"It's the end of an unsuccessful season.

"We are just above mid-table, outside the play-offs, and our aim has to be minimum of the play-offs.

"We go there in good spirits and high confidence. Ebbsfleet have had a decent season, but if we beat them we end up above them, so that's the target this week."

Craig McAllister has also recovered from the niggling injury which led to him being replaced in the second half against the Diamonds, and has returned to training.

Patterson will weigh up whether to kick-off with McAllister and 11-goal leading scorer Yemi Odubade again, or give Matt Green a start.

United have now found the net in each of their last six matches, which represents their best run of the season, but the focus through the summer will continue to be on finding the players, and the combinations, which can score consistently.

Patterson said: "It's been eight wins out of ten, and in all ten games, the only thing that has let us down has been individual errors which has cost us.

"When we lost at Torquay all of their goals came from our mistakes, and it was the same when we lost at home to Northwich.

"Nobody has really scored what I would call a 'good' goal against us.

"Defensively we have been excellent, and the clean sheets total is impressive.

"We've shown we can consistently organise and discipline a side, now I'd like to show we can consistently score goals.

"That's the hardest thing in football, but every team I've been involved in, in my short time in coaching - be it youth or reserves - has done that, and we'll be looking to score goals."

Those words in themselves are a challenge to McAllister, Green and Odubade, who will all be out to show they can lead the line next season.

Ebbsfleet's players also have a big incentive - to cement their place in the team for their club's trip to Wembley in a fortnight in the final of the FA Trophy.
