Todays report quoted, "Odubade, who fired Oxford into a first-half lead, said that was not the case.
"We certainly have the experience," he insisted.
"We've got vast experience of professional football, you've only got to look at players like Rufus Brevett, Phil Gilchrist and Gavin Johnson, they've played well over 300 games.
"And there's Fozzie (Martin Foster) - he was at Halifax and they got through to the play-off final against Hereford last year."
It's now looking like ten clubs are vying for the top five places in the Nationwide Conference at the end of the season.After the weekend's results, there's a massive seven-point gap between 11th-placed Weymouth, who have 45 points, and everyone below, from Crawley Town in 12th.
And with Weymouth on a big slump - just two points from the last six games - and having sold a lot of their players, the Terras can possibly be discounted to mount the kind of late charge needed to secure a play-off place.
Oxford are still eyeing top place, and automatic promotion, but the battle for one of the play-off places - from second to fifth - looks like being just as intense.
This coming weekend, for example, sees leaders Dagenham & Redbridge, who lost at home to Rushden & Diamonds three days ago, facing a difficult trip to seventh-placed Burton Albion, while second-placed Oxford host fourth-placed Gravesend.
The U's could drop to as low as fourth if they lose and third-placed York beat Weymouth."
