That wraps things up from here, what a night for #oufc. Must mention the 137 away fans, great support & they were richly rewarded.

@OxfordMailOUFC good comment tonight from the boy Potter after saying he should stop waiting for the ball to sit nicely before hitting it!

FT: #gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 1 All over. Stunning result and you know what, they deserved it. Football, eh?

GOAL! #gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 1 (Potter 84) How about this?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
9:30pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Rigg has a glimpse of goal. Looked like a mis-kick but his looping shot almost caught out Nelson.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
9:18pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Here comes Constable, replacing Smalley.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
9:17pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Gregory pounces on a loose ball to drive a half volley goalwards. Wright blocks amid handball shouts, ref says no.

@OxfordMailOUFC Missed a pun there. "Medway through the second half." Ba doom tish.
— @thomairs 26 February 2013
9:14pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Midway through the second half and still no breakthrough for either side. Bags of commitment on show, but no goals.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
9:07pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Constable and Craddock out to warm-up, how long before we see one (or both) of those? An hour gone.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
9:01pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 United pressing but Gills look really solid defensively, ten men behind the ball at times.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:55pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Lengthy stoppage as Dack gets treatment, but he's OK to continue after treatment.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:51pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 The second half is go go go...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:35pm
HT: #gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 So far so good for United, who have played with real intensity and more than held their own against the leaders.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:29pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Superb from Davis, who drives a cross in. It falls to Potter, who can't sort his feet out in time and Gills recover
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:26pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Dack should have scored with his first touch@ running on to a pass from Burton, but his shot is well saved.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:25pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Early change as Weston, who was on the receiving end from a Raynes tackle 10 mins ago comes off for Dack.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:25pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Martin seizes on a loose ball and suddenly United are opened up. His cross finds Birchall, whose flicked is saved
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:19pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 No clear cut chances so far but United have been the better side. Have really stood up to Gills so far.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
8:11pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Weston runs into the box and let's fly, but can only find the side netting. Only Gills 2nd effort in opening 20 mins
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013

#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Potter looking livelier than in recent weeks. Decent enough start from the visitors.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:59pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Potter brought down again, this time a yard outside the box. Chapman's shot is on target, but Nelson holds on.

#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Potter again fouled near the box. This one causes chaos at the back, but after a scramble Gills finally clear.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:54pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Potter fouled 30 yds out. Chapman whips it in, but Barrett clears well.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:52pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Batt robbed by Martin, whose shot is tipped over by McCormick. United clear the corner.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC now that sounds better thought it was going to be a 433
— @OUFCJoe 26 February 2013
7:50pm
#gillinghamfc 0 #oufc 0 Looks like #oufc are 4-4-1-1, with Potter playing off Smalley. Heslop in right midfield.

The #oufc fans who have beaten the traffic and reached Gillingham. They're happy it's dry... http://t.co/jmSTv8HBEO

There has been very little between these two recently. Over the last three seasons there have been five meetings, but just two goals. #oufc

Smalley has done well here in the past. He bagged both in a 2-0 win for Chesterfield in 2011. #oufc badly need something similar tonight
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:30pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Beano dropped?! could spell disaster tonight....Weak front line. Was confident before reading that team sheet! 3-1 Gills...
— @darrenviney 26 February 2013
7:25pm
Whing not being in the squad is a surprise, he must have a problem because I thought he had a chance of starting tonight. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:25pm
Bold move for #oufc, dropping Constable & Craddock. I make it the starting XI have scored 18 goals between them this season.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:25pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Whats happened to Whing? After being the bench v York thought he would be good option to replace Montrose, or on bench again
— @stephenslay 26 February 2013

Gills subs v #oufc: Forecast, Davies, Dack, Williams, Kedwell, German, Richardson

— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:18pm
Four changes for #oufc. Smalley, Potter, Heslop and Capaldi in for Constable, Craddock, Montrose and Parker.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:18pm
@OxfordMailOUFC If Bradford can get to Wembley, we can beat Gillingham! Hopefully. #OUFC
— @Andy_Hawkes 26 February 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC quietly thinking a draw, 0-0, but hoping for a win obviously

@OxfordMailOUFC optimistic #gottobelieveinthelads
— @SandraFox 26 February 2013

Can see why there would be some trepidation in the away end. Gillingham have the best defence in the F League and are 22pts ahead of #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 26 February 2013
7:06pm
@OxfordMailOUFC warm...and comfy...ta! 0-0 prediction from the sofa!
— @OUFC1976 26 February 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC Heart says we'll knick a 2-1. Head says we'll do well for 80 minutes and concede late on - Southend dejavu. #OUFC
— @willowsj 26 February 2013
7:06pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Nervous. Hoping that we don't get heavily beaten, This is make or break time
— @DoddsOUFC 26 February 2013
7:05pm
Not the easiest of journeys with some heavy traffic, which appeared to catch the #oufc bus. The squad has now arrived, so no big problem.

well done lads. i do think there is a bit of mental weakness with the home performances and generally when we go behind. when in a positive frame of mind the players are decent.

You lot change your tune quick, it was Wilder out not that long ago, but I don't expect you to remember that oldun, short term memory loss and all that.
We still support oufc and want them to win, so therefore are happy when they do. Fair play to the manager and players, they got it right and took the points, but it's only one game, we have been here before. Change is needed to progress and move out of this league in the longer term, i.e. end of the season.
