That wraps it up from here, the 236 #oufc fans who made the trip were amply rewarded in the end. Decent game, lots of encouraging aspects.

Wilder: "There were lots of big pluses tonight. People look at it as the JPT, but it makes no odds to us. It was a game we wanted to win."
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
10:36pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Great result, feeling confident for Vale! Early prediction- Vale 2-3 Ox

@OxfordMailOUFC great result tonight but good that missing players have got minutes under their belts. Goals too, brings confidence. #COYY

Cheltenham Town 2 (Duffy 31, Lowe 45) Oxford United 4 (Craddock 35, Worley 67, Constable 71, Leven pen 80): OXFO... http://t.co/xGWpdoOs
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:38pm
FT: #ctfc 2 #oufc 4 Second half goals from Worley, Constable & Leven send a patched up United side through. Cracking.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:36pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 4 Should have been 5-2 as Constable races away and squares for Craddock, but the cross is too far ahead of the striker.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:22pm
GOAL! #ctfc 2 #oufc 4 (Leven pen 80) The skipper slams in from 12 yards to give United a cushion. Rigg on for JFC.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:20pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 3 Penalty to United as Heslop is felled by Elliott...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:17pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 3 Jombati, who is League Two's answer to Cafu, is on for Hooman. 15 mins left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:17pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 3 That was Constable's first goal since February and he took it superbly on his left foot.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:13pm
GOAL! #ctfc 2 #oufc 3 (Constable 71) Another long ball causes Town problems, this time Constable volleys in from an acute angle.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:09pm
GOAL! #ctfc 2 #oufc 2 (Worley 67) Have that! Constable wins a corner and Leven's set piece is headed in by Worley. All square again.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:05pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Leven into Heslop 25 yds out, low shot saved.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:03pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Andy Whing on for Boateng. 30 mins for the big man to blow some cobwebs away.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
9:00pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Neat move from Town ends with Deering steering a shot over the top.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:57pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Looks like the keeper will be OK to carry on.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:56pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Duffy booked for clattering into Clarke when charging down a clearance. The keeper's getting treatment...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:46pm
#ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Off we go again.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:32pm
HT: #ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Lively game. Craddock equalised Duffy's opener, but Lowe gives Cheltenham the lead after a bizarre back pass from Utd.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:29pm
GOAL! #ctfc 2 (Lowe 45) #oufc 1 Cheltenham chip the ball across the box to Lowe, who volleys in.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC Komm schon, du Gelb #vondeutschland
— @steffensmark 09 October 2012
8:25pm
#ctfc 1 #oufc 1 Leven & Chapman have combined v well. They start a move which sees JFC cross for Craddock, who skews a shot well wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:22pm
#ctfc 1 #oufc 1 United deservedly level on the balance of play, although Cheltenham's defence won't want to see that goal again. Too easy.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012

8:19pm
GOAL! #ctfc 1 #oufc 1 (Craddock 35) BOOM! United level as Clarke's goal kick bounces over Hooman and Craddock runs through and prods in.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:16pm
GOAL! #ctfc 1 (Duffy 31) #oufc 0 Penn's neat through pass finds Duffy, who bends it past Clarke with the outside of his right boot.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:14pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Boateng seems to have a licence to attack. The full back has gone on 2 marauding dribbles, no end product, but still.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:07pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Brilliant from Worley to head Elliott's powerful header off the line. Great whipped fk from Jones.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:05pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Closest yet as Chapman's long ball finds Craddock. He tees up Constable, whose left footed strike flies a foot wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
8:02pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Great move from United. Chapman's dinked ball finds Heslop who lays off to Constable. Good opening but the shot is well wide
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:56pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Worley caught out by a ball forward, chance for Duffy 18 yds out, but his shot is weak. Let-off.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:51pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Constable wins a fk 25 yds out. JFC's shot is turned round the post for a corner, which is headed away.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:47pm
#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Lovely ball from Leven into Constable, whose clever knock down for Craddock is blasted well wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:43pm
@OxfordMailOUFC we tweeted before about JC & goals in general for ox. JC will not get 10 this year & won't get another high bid value sunk.
— @oufcwestoxon76 09 October 2012

Slight change of kit for #oufc tonight. http://t.co/assaqp3w

7:42pm
Some JPT games kicked off early. Plymouth and Leyton Orient ahead in the southern section.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:38pm
The #ctfc mascot (a big robin) was just giving it some in front of the #oufc end. Could have sparked a riot, but not sure anyone noticed.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:36pm
Also at stake tonight is the overall head to head record between the sides. #oufc and #ctfc have five wins apiece - grudge match.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:34pm
#oufc's players head back to the changing room for some last minute instructions and energy drinks. Kick-off just 12 mins away...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:34pm
@OxfordMailOUFC wait a minute I'm not in yet.
— @GaryBosher 09 October 2012
7:29pm
@OUFClive @OxfordMailOUFC Put a pic of the away end up please ;) see how many yellows are there ATM...
— @AshleyHall07 09 October 2012
By public demand, here's the #oufc travelling army in so far. http://t.co/fkFaxmdm
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:27pm
Could be a big night for Constable, who is in from the start & without a goal in 21 appearances since Feb, he could really do with notching.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:25pm
#ctfc have been something of a bogey side for #oufc since returning to the Football League. The record in all comps reads P5 D3 L2.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:21pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Andy Whing, Andy Whing, he'll stop you on the run as he's Walfords number one. (Max Brannin) 👍😆
— @ryanoufc 09 October 2012
7:20pm
@oufcwestoxon76 @OxfordMailOUFC Totally agree
— @YellowBeanzOUFC 09 October 2012
7:20pm
@OxfordMailOUFC good to see returning players getting much needed game time. That is more important than the result.
— @oufcwestoxon76 09 October 2012
7:20pm
@OxfordMailOUFC ah, that makes sense then. I suppose one of the TC's comes into that bracket.
— @danielfreeman83 09 October 2012
7:19pm
It's a good point, Dan. Teams have to pick 6 who started on Sat (they only have 5) OR they have to select 6 of their most regular starters..
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
...from the season so far. By my reckoning they might just have fulfilled the second criteria with Capaldi coming in.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:19pm
@OxfordMailOUFC what are the rules on how many changes you can make Dave? U thought it was only 5
— @danielfreeman83 09 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC sorry, I thought it was only 5!

It's a bit blurry, but third from the left is Andy Whing. #oufc http://t.co/bfmKtgwd
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:10pm
Leven is captaining #oufc tonight. The other armband will be worn by Sam Deering, who left United in 2011.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:09pm
We will see Marsh at some stage, but hopefully he gets more than 10 mins at the end. Capaldi's a gamble at CB, but Wright prob needs a rest.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:09pm
RT @OUFC1976: @OxfordMailOUFC Beano...good. Leven...good. Clarke...why not give Crocombe some experience. Craddock not Marsh...mystifying!!
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:08pm
#ctfc starting XI vs #oufc: Brown, Lowe, Hooman, Elliott, Jones, Pack, Deering, Penn, Duffy, Harrad, Goulding
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
#ctfc subs: Carter, Jombati, Roberts, Graham, Mohamed
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:05pm
That's six changes from Saturday. Boateng, Capaldi, Leven, Worley, Craddock and Constable all in. Whing named among the subs.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
7:03pm
@OxfordMailOUFC resting key players and giving those without gametime a run out is all that matters to me. The result can go either way
— @OUFC1976 09 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC In true FM style,no pressure on the boys tonight. Go out and give it your all. Hopefully Beano and Marsh to start. #deserved
— @CaptainTomox 09 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC I agree. Winning is a very good, & infectious habit!
— @JackSimpson_93 09 October 2012

#oufc starting XI at #ctfc: Clarke, Boateng, Worley, Capaldi, O'Brien, Heslop, Chapman, Leven, Forster-Caskey, Constable, Craddock

#oufc subs: Crocombe, Marsh, Rigg, Whing, Potter
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
6:57pm
While the competition is much maligned, this still gives #oufc a chance to build on the last two games.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
6:57pm
@OxfordMailOUFC hoping Crocombe, Marsh and Beano all get starta!
— @OUFC1976 09 October 2012
6:54pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I was there that night. We lost 2-1. Lee Mansell scored for us although it looked like an og.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 09 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC i just played Chelt at FIFA in the JPT and we WON 2.0 Craddock scored 1st. So im sticking win that. 😆👍
— @ryanoufc 09 October 2012

Team news expected shortly, we're hearing there will be five changes. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012

Thought someone would recall it, well done Mr Cherrie. Would be surprised if there were more travelling fans tonight.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
6:46pm
@OxfordMailOUFC yes! Jude Stirling fell to his knees almost in tears at the end and was the only one to clap fans off. About 150 travelled
— @acherrie1 09 October 2012

#ctfc boss Mark Yates in programme: "Although it's a long way off the prospect of a Wembley final is a big reason to take it seriously."
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC 1-1. @Ty_marsh to score and oxford to win on pens. #COYY
— @Benson_3 09 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC Cheltenham 0-3 Oxford, James Constable hat-trick...
— @AshleyHall07 09 October 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC #oufc better win! Would be a great end to my 17th birthday! 2-0 winners, potter and @JamesConstable9!
— @TingersOUFC 09 October 2012
6:40pm
#oufc have never been beyond the 3rd round of this competition, which they would reach with a win tonight.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
6:40pm
@OxfordMailOUFC not to bothered but a result with no injuries would be good Oxford für das Leben
— @steffensmark 09 October 2012
6:37pm
Penalties could well be a factor. No extra time in the JPT (thank goodness) so we go straight to a shootout if it's level after 90. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 09 October 2012
6:37pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Hoping for a win as you as always do - but again, no more injuries please! I'd fancy them to put out a stronger XI.
— @willowsj 09 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC I'm back in Canada now, so I can't promise a victory tonight, unfortunately! But ill still say #oufc win 2-1.
