That's it from here. Final word goes to the #oufc fans, who were in full voice all afternoon. Shame they weren't able to cheer a win.

Perhaps more importantly, the gap to the play-off places has stretched again. Now seven points for #oufc to make up.

if the players expected me to say how well they played they had another thing coming. Bottom line is how you get over the finishing line"

#southendunited 1 #oufc 0 The goal came about because Batt stopped running, thinking McCormick was going to come out for a through ball.

@OxfordMailOUFC why are we not scoring? Is it a lack of confidence or nerves?
— @JamesPitt85 02 February 2013
3:48pm
HT: #southendunited 0 #oufc 0 Good half from United, but they should be at least one up. Potter had two gilt-edged openings.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 02 February 2013
3:41pm
#southendunited 0 #oufc 0 Good refereeing from Gavin Ward, he booked Clohessy for a handball after allowing play to carry on.

L2 so tight - if #oufc win today they'll be 1pt behind Southend, who start the day in p-offs. If Southend win, they could be 3rd.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 02 February 2013
2:44pm
This is Southend's first home league game since Jan 1. Curiously they've picked up more points away (24 from 15) than at home (19 from 13).
— @OxfordMailOUFC 02 February 2013
2:44pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Time for an #OUFC win at Roots Hall, 2-1 to the #MightyYellows

Here's the #oufc away end. Not sure if you can make it out but there's plenty all the way up to the back. http://t.co/xcy3ovIq

2:32pm
Roots Hall not a happy hunting ground for #oufc - they've lost on their last four visits. Last win was a 1-0 in Dec 03. Anyone remember it?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 02 February 2013
2:32pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-2
— @brownyoufc 02 February 2013
2:32pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I'd be happy with a point! Our midfield lacks bite without Montrose, we may struggle to break up their play #OUFC
— @Andy_Hawkes 02 February 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC 3-1 to Oxford, Rigg x2 and Beano.

Craddock must have some sort of injury not to be on the bench, but no-one knows what the problem is. #oufc
