Unfortunately that's all we have time for today, thanks to everyone who got in touch.

Can see the logic in that, but I get the feeling Batt will start tomorrow. He didn't look rusty on Saturday.

@OxfordMailOUFC rest wright and give Worley a start maybe and agree with everyone in giving marsh a runout.

Very good, Tim, I'm sure plenty feel the same. It's not the greatest draw after going to Accrington on Sat, is anyone here making the trip?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC after just returning batt could do with a rest before sat, chappers could fill in with worley going defensive mid?

@OxfordMailOUFC the fans?

Back to tomorrow's game. Is there anyone you think would benefit from a rest and should just be left behind to recover? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012

You're not wrong, Paul. Injuries have plagued the season, but both on Sat were pretty freakish. So frustrating for both.

GoldenBoy raises an interesting idea. We're almost at the halfway stage in the campaign, so who is your #oufc player of the season and why?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC losing Whing is a massive blow. We always lose players to injury when they're in form, not our year me thinks.
— @realpaulhawtin 03 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC davis is a great left option. we need to be careful with the small number of fit attackers we have
— @OUFCAddict 03 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC JPT not a massive priority. great chance to give marsh a chance and keep some fresh legs for saturday #injuries again
— @OUFCAddict 03 December 2012

Wouldn't be surprised to see Marsh at some stage, but I'd guess if Craddock's not ready then Rigg/Potter more likely to start up front.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:43pm
@OxfordMailOUFC surely the Plymouth game is as good as any to give Marsh some much needed minutes?
— @Mitcheast1 03 December 2012

#oufc fans do have a double header next week. The FA Cup replay on the Wed comes a day after the U18 team's FA Youth Cup game with Barnsley.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC Rigg has been a great signing in my opinion. He's my player of the season so far.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 03 December 2012
1:41pm
@OxfordMailOUFC If Craddock's not fit then surely the perfect opportunity to give Marsh a run. I don't think CW will do that though.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 03 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC : me & my 8yr old went! Injury time madness! It was about time travelling fans were rewarded with a bit of entertainment!!!!
— @ConradMynes 03 December 2012

The crowd is a hard one to guess. 2 wins between now and then would help, but Accrington only brought 96 for the league game on a Sat.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:38pm
@OxfordMailOUFC It would be nice to get a decent crowd for the Accrington replay but I can't see us getting many more that 2500 there.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 03 December 2012
1:38pm
Think Rigg has looked effective as a second striker in the last two games, what about you? Davis did well on the left flank on Sat.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:38pm
Who do you think should play up front tomorrow? Presumably Beano has to play, but who else? Craddock is 50/50.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:36pm
Think you're right, Tom. We should know more on both by the end of the week, but some reinforcement may be needed when the window reopens.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012

Hard to dispute that logic, chaps. #oufc have produced a couple of their best performances of the season in the JPT - Swindon & Cheltenham.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:35pm
@OxfordMailOUFC if they both end up being out for that length of time then we definitely need another defender and striker in jan.

@OxfordMailOUFC We should win the replay.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 03 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC win and progression will increase morale which is always a good thing!
— @Codydavies1991 03 December 2012
1:31pm
@OxfordMailOUFC It might only be the JPT but all games are important and winning games is a good habit. We want to progress.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 03 December 2012
1:31pm
Hi GoldenBoy. Agree, it would have been hard to take getting knocked out. Fancy #oufc's chances in the replay?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:30pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Losing Pittman means we're very light up front now. Losing Whing is a blow and it's lucky Batt has come back just in time.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 03 December 2012
1:29pm
@OxfordMailOUFC The team showed great character to come back twice and force a replay. It's just such a shame we picked up two more injuries
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 03 December 2012
1:28pm
And what about tomorrow's trip to Plymouth in the JPT? Excited about a place in the area semis up for grabs or not bothered?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:28pm
How big a blow will it be to lose Whing & Pittman? Both definitely out for min 4 weeks, worst case scenario 4 months (JP), 6 months (AW).
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:28pm
Some talking points: what did you make of Saturday's performance in difficult circumstances? Were you one of the frozen 248 behind the goal?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 03 December 2012
1:24pm
Apologies for the delay - avoid Botley Road if you can. Right, we're here until 2pm to look at all things #oufc. As usual plenty to discuss
