Heslop was fairly anonymous, was only in the XI because Montrose was out injured.

The difference of investment into GOOD players is clear to see.
All rather sad after our recent results.

We get the strangest injuries. “@OxfordMailOUFC: Montrose strained a hamstring by slipping while out jogging.”

RT @Original_Dubes: Thank you and apologies to the travelling #yellowarmy that were there today. As well as those at home. #oufc.

Montrose strained a hamstring by slipping while out jogging. May have a chance of playing against Burton on Tuesday. #oufc

4:07pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Chapman on for Raynes at the break. Crowther replaces Brown for Fleetwood.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:49pm
HT: #ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Matt's fortuitous goal separates the sides. United may feel relieved they're only a goal down.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:46pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Duberry hangs a high ball into the box which Davies catches. That's as close as United have come to a shot.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:40pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 United's away fans are doing their best to get the team going. They force three corners in quick succession but no shots yet
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:34pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Chaos at the back as Brown comes for a fk but Matt gets there first. The ball hits the post and United just clear.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:28pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 The ball's not sticking up front for United, so Fleetwood are well in control.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:28pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Evans has another stinging shot which is turned round the post. From the corner Atkinson heads in, but ruled out for a foul
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:28pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Matt shows great strength to hold off Wright, but Duberry gets across to prevent a clean shot.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:19pm
#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 United haven't really found a rhythm yet. A few promising positions have been let down by loose passes.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:12pm
GOAL! #ftfc 1 (Matt 10) #oufc 0 Hosts ahead with a huge slice of luck. Raynes' clearance hits the striker and flies over Brown into the net.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:08pm
#ftfc 0 #oufc 0 Matt gets away from Raynes, but Duberry slides in to concede a corner, which Brown punches clear.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:07pm
#ftfc 0 #oufc 0 Evans has a dip, which Brown just saves. It squirmed out of his grasp, but he gathered at the second attempt.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
3:01pm
#ftfc 0 #oufc 0 Off we go. United defending in front of a terrific away turnout in the first half.

#oufc head back in to the changing rooms for final instructions. Can they make it five league wins in the bounce? We'll find out shortly.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:47pm
Don't forget to submit your score predictions. For some reason I've got a feeling in my bones Justin Richards is going to score today. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:44pm
#ftfc's haul of 34 goals scored in 27 games is the lowest in League Two's top 15, but only Gillingham have a better defensive record.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:44pm
@OxfordMailOUFC you can't beat an old school quadruple shadow on the pitch.
— @csoufc 26 January 2013
2:42pm
Hard to believe four pylons with these teeny floodlights will illuminate the pitch. Has anyone seen smaller? #oufc http://t.co/9sp5dHyW
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:41pm
#oufc will need to keep a close eye on Jamille Matt, who #ftfc signed for c.300k this month. 8 in 8 for Kidderminster this season. Threat.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013

#oufc fans in the Percy Ronson Stand. Not the easiest of journeys considering the weather, good effort. http://t.co/BrvGaUcp

Four changes for #ftfc, including new signing Paul McKenna, who signed on loan from Hull City yesterday. Jon 'The Beast' Parkin on the bench
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:29pm
Fleetwood subs v #oufc: Maxwell, Barry, McNulty, Parkin, Nicholson, Titchiner, Crowther
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:28pm
Fleetwood will be 4-4-2: Davies, Beeley, Pond, Atkinson, Goodall, Evans, McGuire, McKenna, Brown, Matt, Allen
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:23pm
Believe Montrose has a hamstring problem so Heslop comes in for the only change from #oufc's win at Bradford. Still 3-4-3 by the looks of it
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:22pm
@OxfordMailOUFC No Montrose? :(
— @CaptainTomox 26 January 2013

— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:17pm
#oufc have won five away games in League Two this season, but they've won the last three (Bradford, Wimbledon & Exeter).
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:14pm
Wouldn't be surprised if it was scrappy. This playing surface won't suit a fluid passing game, it's a day for rolling up sleeves. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:12pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Same line up as at Bradford. A point wouldn't be a bad thing, though game today.
— @Andy_Hawkes 26 January 2013
2:12pm
@OxfordMailOUFC just need to win this one! Even a scrappy 1-0 win would do for me!!
— @tdcollacott 26 January 2013
2:12pm
@OxfordMailOUFC We're used to muddy pitches these days....
— @Andy_Hawkes 26 January 2013
2:10pm
Due to the break form can go out of the window. How are you feeling about #oufc today? And how do you want them to line up?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:08pm
They were mixed results. While #oufc had a great 2-1 win at Bradford, Fleetwood were well beaten 3-0 by struggling Bristol Rovers.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:08pm
Both #oufc and #ftfc had their games postponed last weekend, so have not played for a fortnight. Interesting to see which is better prepared
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013
2:04pm
An hour to kick-off at Fleetwood & the #oufc keepers are out for the warm-up. Wayne Brown and Max Crocombe are taking in the bracing sea air
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 January 2013

Good afternoon and a very warm welcome to Lancashire, where Oxford United are taking on Fleetwood Town.
There are no concerns over the pitch, with just a light dusting of snow overnight, so we will definitely have a game.
As always we want to hear from you, so get in touch with your views either by posting a comment below or sending us a tweet @oxfordmailoufc
