Batt also made a cracking decoy run which enabled Potter to get the cross in for Worley's goal. #oufc

Final thought, Raynes & Wright played well, but Damian Batt was outstanding at both ends. The block he made on Redshaw was astonishing #oufc

Swift exit from Morecambe, there's 210 miles to go! Honourable mention for the #oufc fans who made the trip, they made themselves heard.

@OxfordMailOUFC should we not be worried about that statement though?

Raynes said Worley scored more goals than anyone in training yesterday. He certainly took his chance coolly.

#oufc's Michael Raynes played through the pain in the second half. Check this out... http://t.co/yXnixG2D

#morecambefc 1 #oufc 0 Worley on for Capaldi as United go 3-4-3. The centre back has been slung up front for the closing stages.

HT: #morecambefc 0 #oufc 0 For half an hour United were immaculate, but couldn't find a goal. Morecambe back in it since.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
1:47pm
#morecambefc 0 #oufc 0 Leven fires a fk well over the bar as we enter the one minute of added on time at the end of the first half.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012

— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
1:25pm
#morecambefc 0 #oufc 0 Craddock unrecognisable from last week, really sharp. He latches on to Constable's lay-off, but the shot is blocked.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
1:18pm
#morecambefc 0 #oufc 0 United dominant and the home fans aren't enjoying this. Rigg turns his marker and shoots wide from 20 yds.

— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
1:13pm
#morecambefc 0 #oufc 0 Chapman's fk is poor and hits the wall. From the corner it falls to Rigg, who volleys well over.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
1:12pm
#morecambefc 0 #oufc 0 Really good start from United. Rigg spins away and wins a fk right on the edge of the box.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
1:10pm
#morecambefc 0 #oufc 0 Clever ball from Potter slips in Craddock. Great chance, but his shot saved by Roche's legs. Should have scored.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
1:09pm

Well done to the late rush of correct answers.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:56pm
I'll put you out of your misery. It's Accrington (1,761) and Dagenham (1,713).
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012

No-one's got it yet. Clue, Barnet are not one of them. Hard to believe, but true.

See what you did there Richard. The proof will be in the gate. Morecambe ave 1,851 in L2, but can you name the 2 sides who are below them?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:44pm
@OxfordMailOUFC a good idea for early kick off or are morecambe unwise?
— @brinyhoof 15 December 2012
12:43pm
It's mild, but plenty of #oufc players in gloves for warm-up. Leven, Chapman, Potter and Davis all donning the winter warmers. #glovewatch
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:35pm
The pitch on this side looks heavy. May not be a game for stroking it around in your own half. http://t.co/Lp2s4u7A

@OxfordMailOUFC Money saving, not having to use the floodlights???????
— @BH16yellow 15 December 2012

#oufc would climb three places to 15th, for at least a couple of hours, with a win today. Morecambe would be one of those overtaken.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:31pm
...how #oufc could do with those two clicking again.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:31pm
This is the first time Craddock and Constable have started together for five weeks. They had a promising partnership at that stage...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:31pm
That's the spirit, Joe, nice and positive!
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC if the Mayans are right it won't matter what they buy today unless they have their Xmas on the 20th # EndOfTheWorld

Great view from the press box here. No zoom on this photo of #oufc warming up. http://t.co/e1PTyIIG
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:23pm
Also in the front three is one Richard Brodie, who led the line for York City in that play-off final. No goals for him that day. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:23pm
Redshaw is the one to watch for the hosts. Only 5ft 5in but supposed to be v quick. Came through the ranks at Man City, has 8 goals so far.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:20pm
Not easy to get confirmation on why this is 1pm kick-off. The best explanation is Morecambe wanted it so fans could go Xmas shopping after.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:19pm
@OUFClive @OxfordMailOUFC can you explain why it's a 1pm kick off?
— @AshleyHall07 15 December 2012
12:18pm
Two changes for Morecambe. Redshaw and Fleming in for Haining and Reid. They will be 4-3-3. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:16pm
One change for #oufc, Craddock in for Davis, who drops to the bench. Heslop out suspended, so Marsh gets back in the squad.

@OxfordMailOUFC that's over past meetings though and were talking about now and our current form is terrible to put it politely!
— @andywilmer 15 December 2012
12:09pm
There's good reason for some optimism, #oufc have a decent record recently here. Last three meetings read P3 W2 D1 L0 F6 A0. Super.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 December 2012
12:08pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Oxford will win 3-1
— @levioufc 15 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC Unpredictable I'll go for a 3-1 win, same no. of goals scored there a couple of times in recent seasons, but we leak goals!
