#ctfc 2 #oufc 0 Wright has a go on the volley from 35 yds, way over. This is getting desperate. Again. 15 mins left, spark needed.

@OxfordMailOUFC it's a sorry state the team is in when we have l resort to a player who can only play 25mins as the fit ones can't produce!
— @yellowarmypids 18 September 2012
4 defeats on the bounce and only 3 wins in last 14 league games. How long will the Lenegans allow this to go on for? #OUFC @OxfordMailOUFC

#ctfc 1 #oufc 0 United enjoying their best spell of the game. Batt crosses and Craddock has another shot, this time Brown saves.

#ctfc 1 #oufc 0 Apologies, Internet probs this end. United should be level - Chapman fk hits the post and falls to Craddock, who shoots over
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:29pm
HT: #ctfc 1 #oufc 0 Big team talk coming up for Chris Wilder. United haven't done much wrong but again they trail.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:29pm
#ctfc 1 #oufc 0 Smalley and Wright booked in quick succession. We're into stoppage time.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:17pm
#ctfc 1 #oufc 0 Now it's a real test of United's character. Behind again, can they dig a result out?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:14pm
#ctfc 1 #oufc 0 McGlashan made the goal with a burst of pace on the right. His cross just cleared Zebroski, but it ended up at Carter's feet
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:13pm
Why does everyone score bloody screamers against us. @OxfordMailOUFC
— @WillH13 18 September 2012
8:12pm
GOAL! #ctfc 1 (Carter 29) #oufc 0 Sweet strike from Carter 25 yards out.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:10pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Craddock the next to try his luck from range. They've all been on target, but only Chapman's effort troubled Brown.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:05pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 United shooting on sight. Smalley has a go from 25 yards, on target but parried by Brown. Good contest so far.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:02pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Let off for United as Jombati's cross is headed wide by Harrad. If he got it on target Clarke was beaten.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
8:00pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Chapman's low shot is seen late by Brown, who gets a hand to it. Smalley's follow up ruled out, it's a goal kick.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:55pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Potter's getting ready to come on, Pittman's not right and is coming off. Blow.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:53pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Capaldi's corner clears everyone and goes out. Pittman is back on but not moving well.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:52pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc Pittman has another dig, deflected wide. But worryingly he's gone down and is getting some treatment.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:49pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 United break with Pittman, who shoots from 30 yards. Saved.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:48pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Bennett has a first sniff of goal when a corner breaks to him. Clarke saves the shot.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:42pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Away we go. United attacking towards their fans in the first half.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:38pm
Ten mins until kick-off here and it feels very subdued. Neither side in good form, this one could come down to who makes the fewest mistakes
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:30pm
The #oufc starting line-up retreats to the changing room to compose themselves. Let's hope they re-emerge with commitment, courage and skill
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:27pm
Alongside Pack in midfield is Darren Carter, who once cost West Brom £1.5 million. Still only 28, rebuilding a career affected by injury.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:23pm
Shaun Harrad has been #ctfc's main goal threat so far, with 4 goals. Marlon Pack also an influential presence, makes them tick. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:20pm
For all that, the mood around #oufc could be very different if they pick up 6, or even 4 points by Saturday tea time.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:20pm
There's no doubt this game has much more on it for #oufc than you'd normally have at this time of year. A response is needed, fast.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
7:18pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-1 goals from Chapman and Beano, we play so well that #OUFC fans chant Wilder's name all night
— @AndrewRansley 18 September 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC need three points but will be a definite battle 1-1.

JFC still out with tonsillitis, so Heslop continues in midfield. Potter dropping to the bench is a surprise, I'm sure we'll see him later.

That's two changes for #ctfc, who will line-up 4-2-3-1. Bennett & Zebroski in for Lowe & Mohamed. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
Zebroski one of two ex-#oufc players in the #ctfc side. The other is Sam Deering.

“@OxfordMailOUFC: #oufc XI: Clarke, Batt, Raynes, Wright, Capaldi, Cox, Chapman, Heslop, Craddock, Smalley, Pittman” Heslop??? No Potter????

@OxfordMailOUFC thought we was pretty ugly Saturday

Tonight is all about the ugly side of the game. #oufc are looking for players with courage in the wake of Saturday.

@tim_cowley Sounds like a cracking afternoon out! I hope you'd have high 5-ed him if #oufc had scored.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
6:52pm
On recent form there could be tons of chances tonight. #oufc have let in 11 in their last 3, #ctfc have let in the only slightly better 7.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
6:52pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 1-1, I'd take that!
— @YellowsForum 18 September 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC it was quite warm? They sold bacon baps, I sat news to a bloke with 1 arm. That's my memory's #oufc

@OxfordMailOUFC 3.1 Cheltenham win. Caskey pen for us. Deering scorers winner to put the final nail in wilders coffin. And hes sacked.
— @ryanoufc 18 September 2012
6:49pm
The game here six months ago was notable for a very strong penalty shout on a certain Dean Morgan. Can't remember much else about it. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
6:49pm
@OxfordMailOUFC lose 3-0!
— @lloydyw_20 18 September 2012
6:46pm
#oufc haven't got the best record against #ctfc. No wins in last seven, these two shared a goalless draw in March.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
6:46pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-0 loss......
— @oufcwestoxon76 18 September 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC 0-1 Pittman header to win it!
— @OufcAsh 18 September 2012
6:44pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Whilst our recent form suggests another difficult game, I fancy a nice 2-0 win. Hope I'm right rather an deluded
— @petechilton 18 September 2012
6:44pm
@OxfordMailOUFC sneak a 1-0 win. Jake wright winner! #oufc
— @tim_cowley 18 September 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC 0-0. Bore draw. Have fun!
— @SamLydon3 18 September 2012

Come on then, cards on the table, what's your score prediction tonight? A lot can change in 90 mins... #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
6:37pm
Cox is one of a few players who could be brought in for #oufc tonight after Saturday's 4-0 defeat at Burton. Constable & Pittman in the mix.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
6:35pm
No official team news yet, but Lee Cox seemed to think he was playing when we bumped into him a few mins ago. Would be a boost to #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 18 September 2012
