That's it from here, go and enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Just a note to say due to holiday there will be no #oufc web chat on Monday.

RT @JakeCaskey35: A great result in hard conditions today. I told you I had a good feeling. Just wish my strike went in. #CantHaveEverything

Just as an aside, Johnny Mullins played 90 mins in Rotherham's 1-0 win at Exeter City. #oufc

Fantastic result for #oufc, great atmosphere too. Well done to all those who took part in Ultimate Support Saturday.

4:58pm
FT: #oufc 2 #ntfc 1 Pittman's goal wins it as United topple in-form Northampton, who had Carlisle sent off late on.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:49pm
#oufc 2 #ntfc 1 RED CARD! Carlisle gets his second booking for blocking off Potter. 1 min of normal time left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:39pm
GOAL! #oufc 2 (Pittman 79) #ntfc 1 Get in! Ball over the top from Leven and Pittman lashes it in. United back in front.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:36pm
GOAL! #oufc 1 #ntfc 1 (Platt 76) Cobblers level as the substitute heads in Hackett's cross.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:36pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Akinfenwa gets his first sight of goal, but flicks a header wide. That was close.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:30pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Rigg shoots...side netting. 20 mins left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:26pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Robinson is booked for hacking down Potter. The challenge looked nasty, sparking some handbags in the centre circle.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:23pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Clive Platt on to give Akinfenwa more support, replacing Demontagnac.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:19pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 So far Raynes has done a good job on Akinfenwa. The big man hasn't been much of an influence.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:18pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Another great chance. Potter wins the ball and feeds Pittman, who gets to the edge if the box but shoots wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:18pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Pittman on for JFC, who has just been booked. Expect JPP to go up front, Rigg back to left wing.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:10pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Almost 2-0 as Constable crosses for Rigg, who spins and shoots, superb save from Nicholls.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:09pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Attendance is 6,635 (1,073 visitors). Biggest gate since the Gillingham game.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
4:04pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 The second half is go go go.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:51pm
HT: #oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Constable's goal separates the sides at the break. United might be further ahead, Rigg & JFC have also hit the woodwork.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:42pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Northampton win a series of corners, Harding has a shot straight at Clarke.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:36pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 JFC is looking much more effective on the left than he was at Chesterfield last week. Rigg has done well as a striker too.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:36pm
@OxfordMailOUFC we must have hit the woodwork more than at club this season?
— @richclareoufc 24 November 2012
3:31pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 From the corner Whing has a header well saved. Crowd really responding well to this.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:31pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 JFC smashes a 20yd shot off the post. Rigg on the follow up has a shot parried.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:29pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Despite going behind Northampton are using the ball well. United's defence having to work very hard.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:23pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 JFC does well to win a fk down by the corner flag. Leven cuts it back to Rigg, whose shot is deflected onto the bar.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:19pm
#oufc 1 #ntfc 0 Maybe that's the bit of luck United have been waiting for. The only thing is Potter's pass may have been square. Who cares?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:16pm
GOAL! #oufc 1 (Constable 14) #ntfc 0 United lead as Potter crosses for Constable to tap in. Looked offside from here, but it stands.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:13pm
#oufc 0 #ntfc 0 Hackett has looked very lively on the ball. One jinking run ends wi a firm shot, parried by Clarke.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:08pm
#oufc 0 #ntfc 0 Rigg charges down GK clearance, Constable gets there 1st ahead of the GK, who does just enough to clear. Lucky boy.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:04pm
#oufc 0 #ntfc 0 Looks like 4-4-2 with Rigg up front alongside Constable. Cobblers have first chance on the break, Domatagnac shoots over.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
3:01pm
#oufc 0 #ntfc 0 Away we go.

Floodlights burning brightly 15 mins before kick-off. #oufc http://t.co/LiedHayF

2:41pm
#oufc have a decent record at home to their near neighbours from up the A43. The last two seasons have seen 2-0 & 3-1 wins for Wilder's men.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC bound to cause havoc
— @Englands_urn 24 November 2012

As far as we can make out, this is Hackett's first return to #oufc since he left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:39pm
Arguably #ntfc's best player this season is Chris Hackett, who made 142 apps for #oufc before leaving in 2006.

Only six subs in the #ntfc squad. They signed Chris Smith from Swindon on Thurs but you can only have 5 loan players in the 18. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:32pm
#ntfc subs v #oufc: Charles, Platt, Snedker, Mukendi, Moult, Huws

2:32pm
#ntfc XI v #oufc: Nicholls, East, Carlisle, Langmead, Tozer, Robinson, Hornby, Harding, Demontagnac, Hackett, Akinfenwa
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:32pm
Well thank you @OxfordMailOUFC for the confidence boost - fancy us to get beat 2-1.
— @willowsj 24 November 2012
2:31pm
In Akinfenwa they have a striker bang in form, 13 goals this season and 7 in his last 5. On his day he can be a right handful. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:25pm
So, what do we know about #ntfc? They're League 2's form side with 13 points from the last 15, which has taken them from 17th to 9th place.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:25pm
@OxfordMailOUFC JFC for Heslop is good. I don't think Raynes is as bad as people make out though #ussoufc
— @andywilmer 24 November 2012
2:24pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I'm going 3-1 to Northampton I just can't see us being able to deal with Akinfenwa! #ussoufc
— @andywilmer 24 November 2012
2:24pm
@oufcfan85 @OxfordMailOUFC i would say davis is more a left winger than full back so covers both. still i would have chappers at rb
— @OUFCAddict 24 November 2012
2:17pm
@OxfordMailOUFC so once again, it's better to have 2 left backs on the bench rather than Marsh or Roberts? So pointless.
— @oufcfan85 24 November 2012
2:17pm
Hopefully there will be a decent atmosphere, with this being the 3rd #oufc Ultimate Support Saturday. Looking forward to seeing the banner.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:16pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Lets hope Raynes takes his chance & puts in a performance that justifies his selection.In the words of Yazz #theonlywayisup
— @petechilton 24 November 2012
2:14pm
We're expecting more than 1,000 away fans in this afternoon and the 200 or so already in the ground sound in a buoyant mood. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:13pm
1 tip would be to avoid betting on a draw. #oufc & #ntfc finished drew their 1st meeting, but there have been wins in the 20 meetings since
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:13pm
@OxfordMailOUFC going for 1-0 Oxford. Clarke penalty save
— @AshleyHall07 24 November 2012

Now you've seen the #oufc team, what are your score predictions for today?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:10pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I'm going to finish my pint, and watch 90 minutes of long balls fired in at the the big men #longballs
— @dannyspence1 24 November 2012
2:10pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Raynes v Akinfenwa... *shudder*
— @Andy_Hawkes 24 November 2012
2:10pm
One other change escaped me, Cox back from suspension and comes in for Chapman. Could that be a return to 4-3-3? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:09pm
That's 2 changes for #oufc. Raynes preferred to Worley so fills the void left by Mullins at centre half, JFC in for Heslop.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:06pm
#oufc subs: Brown, Chapman, Heslop, Pittman, Worley, O'Brien, Davis
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:06pm
#oufc starting XI v #ntfc: Clarke, Whing, Raynes, Wright, Capaldi, Cox, Leven, Forster-Caskey, Potter, Constable, Rigg
— @OxfordMailOUFC 24 November 2012
2:06pm
The playing surface doesn't look too bad considering all the rain, but could well cut up later on. #oufc

Think we'll need the floodlights on for the warm-ups here, it's that grim. Groundstaff have already been out forking the pitch. #oufc

Afternoon from a damp and dark Kassam Stadium, where in an hour Oxford United will kick-off against Northampton Town.
Hopefully the game will brighten up the afternoon, all the team news, build-up and match action will follow.
