Good point Ransley, nice one to finish on. Bodes well for Max, he's a top lad and #oufc think highly of him.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
11:32am
@OxfordMailOUFC congratulations to Max on his call up worth a mention

We've got 5 mins left for today's discussion. If you've got anything else to contribute, now is the time. #oufc

Honestly thought Capaldi had an OK game. Think O'Brien signing on for the rest of the season is a good idea though. Who should start?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
11:17am
@OxfordMailOUFC Capaldi was absolutely dreadful and I am struggling to remember a good display from him in Yellow. O'Brien should play #OUFC

One factor which could be important is the no of home games still to play. Of the 19 left in L2, 11 are at home, 8 away.

@OxfordMailOUFC one thing I will say is that our players don't hide after a bad game and will hold their hands up.
— @kevinspackman 28 January 2013
11:08am
@tealery @yellowtillidie @oxfordmailoufc agree with this. Saw awful tweets to Raynes and Brown after Saturday.
— @kevinspackman 28 January 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC how many times has that been said this season? Still a tad premature to be season defining.
— @OXONAssassin 28 January 2013
11:07am
#oufc were vague about how bad it was, if it was a minor strain he may be OK. Can't take chances with hamstrings so may not be worth risking
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
11:07am
@YellowAL @oxfordmailoufc If it's the hamstring pull they reported I doubt he'll be for for tomorrow.
— @MylesOUFC 28 January 2013
11:04am
@Yellowtillidie @oxfordmailoufc yep. Frustration one thing, vitriolic attacks are not going to help confidence or the team. COYY
— @tealery 28 January 2013

Shame to lose Montrose though after he had made such a flying start in an #oufc shirt. At least Chapman's return helps increase the options.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
11:01am
We'll find out later today about Montrose. Asked CW on Sat about his chances to make Burton and he didn't know for sure. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:58am
@OxfordMailOUFC any news on Montrose - after only one game missed his presence in midfield ?
— @YellowAL 28 January 2013
10:58am
Win and #oufc will be 2pts off the top seven with 18 games left. Lose and the good work of the recent run starts to unravel. Who's going?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:58am
Does anyone think tomorrow night could turn out to be a big moment in #oufc's season? Only one other game on in L2, big chance.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:54am
Thought Chapman did fairly well when he came on, at least he tried to drive #oufc on. Amazing his shot on 55 mins was their 1st of the game.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:50am
How important will Constable's return be do we think? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:50am
@OxfordMailOUFC think we will see 442 and Beano and Craddock on Tuesday. Also Chapman and Levs in the middle
— @kevinspackman 28 January 2013
10:50am
@OxfordMailOUFC gas anyone seen the Goals ?? Get off his back Clark wouldn't have done any better. Other issues in the side I think
— @ChrisMeeson 28 January 2013
10:50am
Think that's the way they'll go tomorrow Jason. Richards can't play because it's his parent club, so obvious chance to reunite JC & TC.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:50am
@OxfordMailOUFC It was an embarrassment... No Pride. No Passion. #oufc
— @RobertTyler1690 28 January 2013
10:46am
@OxfordMailOUFC I think Raynes would have played the ball back to Clarke but trust made him try to clear it
— @kevinspackman 28 January 2013
10:46am
@OxfordMailOUFC if wilder goes back to beano and craddock next game sure we will make sat a one off defeat and look upwards again
— @dikko17 28 January 2013
10:45am
@OxfordMailOUFC it may have meant to be 3 at the back, but calpadi and batt barely attacked, we needed another striker to link with Richards
— @MylesTarry 28 January 2013
10:45am
@OxfordMailOUFC hard to forget the run of 7 defeats earlier for many. That's why Tuesday is crucial. New GK needed for me.
— @kevinspackman 28 January 2013
10:45am
@OxfordMailOUFC We can't expect to win every game, first defeat since November. Still a long way to go this season!! #oufc
— @conorjones51 28 January 2013
10:45am
Agree with you Ransley. You don't play 500 games without being a good player, but he needs backing.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:42am
@OxfordMailOUFC clearly Fleetwood done there homework and marked Rigg and Alfie out the game and our midfield was completely over ran
— @MylesTarry 28 January 2013
10:41am
@OxfordMailOUFC he doesn't come over as a confident keeper, &seems prone 2make few mistakes, fear these mistakes will cost us games
— @dikko17 28 January 2013
@OxfordMailOUFC Brown needs our support, some of the comments by fans about him is disgusting
— @Yellowtillidie 28 January 2013
10:41am
Should we cut #oufc some slack - first defeat in 9 league games, tough place to go, etc. Or are you worried about tomorrow now?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:41am
Hi Myles. #oufc would argue it was a back 3, but I take your point. Wright said they were "rubbish" and don't think anyone is arguing.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:41am
@OxfordMailOUFC I dont understand why we played 5 across the back, and still Fleetwood players were being left unmarked in the box
— @MylesTarry 28 January 2013
10:37am
But, I don't think Brown has inspired confidence in the defence. Clearly rusty after not playing, so #oufc need him to find form quickly.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:37am
Morning Pete, welcome aboard. What does everyone else think about the gk situation? Brown didn't have a good game, but he wasn't at...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
...fault for any of the goals. Think #oufc would've lost even with Clarke in goal.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:33am
@OxfordMailOUFC is the goal keeping a genuine issue or is that just scapegoating after Saturday's all round poor performance?
— @oufcpete 28 January 2013
10:33am
And just how important is #oufc's game against Burton tomorrow night?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:33am
We're especially interested to hear the thoughts of #oufc fans who made the trip on Saturday - what did you make of the game?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 28 January 2013
10:31am
Firstly, here are the thoughts of U's boss Chris Wilder and skipper Jake Wright on Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Fleetwood.
