Should add Chris Wilder also felt the travelling this week hadn't helped. Not long to recover, #oufc host Accrington on Wednesday.

Wilder: "From the off it was a tough day for us and it was a tough week and I think people should cut us a bit of slack." #oufc

#oufc boss Chris Wilder disappointed to draw but felt the difficult situation with Mitchell Cole contributed to the subdued performance.

FT: #oufc 1 #atfc 1 All over here. Mekki's equaliser ensures a share of the spoils, Heslop sent off late on for United.

GOAL! United 1 Aldershot 1 (Mekki 84)
4:41pm
#oufc 1 #atfc 0 Double change for the Shots. Mekki & Reid for Vincenti & Lopez.

#oufc 1 #atfc 0 Capaldi does well to clear from inside the six yd box as Hylton gets the better of Wright.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
4:28pm
#oufc 1 #atfc 0 Heslop on for Potter, who has not had one of his best games. May have been more of a threat as the game wore on, though.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
4:28pm
#oufc 1 #atfc 0 Hylton comes close twice in succession. Heads one fk wide, has another effort blocked.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
4:20pm
#oufc 1 #atfc 0 The break's not done much to improve the game. United not at their best. Craddock on for Davis.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
4:06pm
The second half is underway.
4:04pm
HT: #oufc 1 #atfc 0 Adam Chapman's goal separates the sides. Not a great half, hopefully it'll improve after the break.

#oufc 1 #atfc 0 Rigg darts between two players and wins what looks a decent fk. Instead the ref says it was a dive and books him.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
3:39pm
#oufc 1 #atfc 0 Could easily be 2-0 as Constable crosses for Rigg ten yds out, but he mis-kicks. Waste.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
3:39pm
GOAL! #oufc 1 (Chapman 33) #atfc 0 Finally some quality! Constable lays off to Chapman, who drives in low from 20 yds with his left foot.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
3:37pm
#oufc 0 #atfc 0 United disjointed but should be ahead. Great ball by Chapman, Constable beats the keeper at full stretch, but it drops wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
3:31pm
#oufc 0 #atfc 0 Hylton looks five yds offside but there's no flag. Wright pushes him off the ball in the box. Decision? Corner. Baffling.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
3:27pm
#oufc 0 #atfc 0 Good spell for Aldershot, who look lively on the break. Cadogan's cross only just dealt with, Lopez has a shot blocked.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
3:21pm
#oufc 0 #atfc 0 Tonkin booked for a rash tackle on former teammate Alfie Potter.
3:14pm
#oufc 0 #atfc 0 Slow start to the game, not helped by lots of free-kicks being awarded.
3:10pm
Some problems updating from Twitter.
Potter volleys the first good chance wide, still 0-0.
2:55pm
#oufc chairman Ian Lenagan's programme notes say the club are in talks with Stevenage about a game in Mitchell Cole's memory.

The names being read out here, #oufc's players each getting a big cheer by a load of kids in the lower tier. #southstandultras

@OxfordMailOUFC Met Danny Rose a few years back at Oxford 'Learning' United - such a nice guy!
— @willowsj 08 December 2012
2:38pm
So, all three ex-#oufc players in #atfc's squad. Tonkin and Rose start, Payne on the bench.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:38pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-1 Yellows.

#oufc's players warming up in the special Mitchell Cole t-shirts. http://t.co/QBI7LKPw

They also have a decent record here, winning 2 and drawing 1 of their last 3 visits. BUT #oufc have won 3 of last 4 meetings.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:22pm
Aldershot start second bottom but they've been handy on their travels of late. Five games unbeaten, including wins at Southend and Fleetwood
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:18pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-0 Oxford, Riggy and Chappers to score Payne to get sent off for them

As always your thoughts and score predictions are actively encouraged. Who's up for this one? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:15pm
Looks like a return to 4-4-2, with Rigg up top with Constable. Interesting to see Chapman get the nod ahead of Cox in midfield. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:15pm
No place for Marsh on the bench, with top scorer Tom Craddock back in the squad after a month out with a rib injury. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:14pm
Three changes from Tuesday night. Capaldi and Leven, both rested, return, while Constable leads the line. Cox, JFC and Marsh drop out. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:11pm
@OxfordMailOUFC not a bad team considering our injury problems! I can see a win on the cards 2-1 to the mighty yellows! #OUFC
— @andywilmer 08 December 2012
2:11pm
There's also been a suggestion from fans for a minute's applause for Cole in the 17th minute. Hopefully that's gained some momentum. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:09pm
#oufc's keepers out for their warm-ups, wearing special t-shirts with 'Cole 17' on the back. We'll have a minute's applause before kick-off.

2:06pm
Secondly, I've just watched Michael Duberry being put through his paces out on the pitch. Heading lots of balls, v promising. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 December 2012
2:06pm
2 pieces of good news to start. The youth team won 1-0 at Swindon earlier, boffins are trying to calculate how long their winning run is now

Good afternoon from a bright but chilly Kassam Stadium.
Fresh from two decent results in cup competitions Oxford United return to league action today looking for three precious points against Aldershot.
