@tim_cowley @OxfordMailOUFC booing was ridiculous. Better performance than Wycombe away, just couldn't find a goal.
— @acherrie1 10 November 2012

@tim_cowley @oxfordmailoufc booing was pathetic. It was a good performance, just didn't get that goal. It happens sometimes, that's football
— @ollyhowells 10 November 2012
5:35pm
Also said Craddock came off with a knock to the ribs, not expected to keep him out for long. #oufc

Wilder: "The players deserved to win today, but we didn't get it. We didn't play like a team that's in the lower reaches of the league."
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
5:33pm
@OxfordMailOUFC As 0-0 draws go, that was about as one-sided as they could get. Absolute travesty. Only one team wanted to win today. #oufc
— @DeadlyTheRoadie 10 November 2012
5:29pm
@OxfordMailOUFC no Raynes, we keep a clean sheet just a coincidence?! Much better today though, should've won really. #COYY

@OxfordMailOUFC why do our strikers seem to crumble under pressure?

Oxford United 0 Torquay United 0: OXFORD United failed to punish a poor Torquay United side as a host of chances... http://t.co/7gjPORkr

4:56pm
FT: #oufc 0 #tufc 0 No way through for United, who laid siege to Torquay's goal at times in the second half. Report and reaction to follow.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:49pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Wilder furious as a penalty claim on Constable goes begging.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:47pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Leven has a shot well saved, then Torquay clear Pittman's cross. 4 mins left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:44pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Constable has a great chance, but he shoots over left-footed. That may have been the crucial moment.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:41pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Chapman on for Heslop. 10 mins left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:33pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Torquay will be delighted if they can get a point out of this, they've been dreadful. 20 mins left for the hosts...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:32pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Heslop crosses, Pittman sets up Constable, worse shot is tipped over.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:27pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Much better from United, who have looked far more threatening since the break. Torquay being stretched all over the place.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:18pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 This game's coming to life now. Rigg shoots just wide twice in quick succession.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:18pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Cox is booked for a rash challenge. From the fk Jarvis heads into the net, but the offside flag rescues United.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:10pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Heslop plays in Pittman, who spins his man brilliantly but lashes a shot over the bar.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
4:06pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Pittman on for Craddock, who went down with a knock just before the break.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:52pm
HT: #oufc 0 #tufc 0 Bright start for United but a poor half in the end. Untroubled defensively, but not enough quality going forward.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:48pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Torquay win a couple of corners, but United defend better than on Tuesday, so no goals.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:43pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Jarvis leaves his foot in on Davis, who writhes in pain. Just a talking to from the ref, looks like the full back will be OK
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:37pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Close shave for United. Davis gives away a fk 22 yds out, Craig curls it just wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:34pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Half an hour gone, United have shaded it but are lacking fluency. Torquay lacking confidence but being let off the hook.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:26pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Bodin nutmegs Cox and then tries his luck from 40 yards...wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:22pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Whing times a do or die tackle on Craig in the box perfectly. He gets a goal kick too, bonus.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:22pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Craddock drives forward, but his left-footed shot from 25 yds lacks conviction and trickles wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:16pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 United well on top down their left side, Rigg and Davis doing damage every time they get on the ball.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:14pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Great cross from Rigg, but everyone misses it. Heslop was at the back post, if he attacks the ball it's a goal.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:09pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Home side have had a much better start than Tues, Torquay being hassled.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:05pm
#oufc 0 #tufc 0 Bright start. Craddock plays in Constable, who has two shots saved. Cross comes in, Rigg heads at Rice.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
3:01pm
Very respectful silence at the Kassam. Right, game time. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:58pm
Here we go. Definite kit clash between Ryan Clarke and the Torquay side. http://t.co/2jVv7lKF
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:56pm
Nearly time for the teams here, we're due to have a minute's silence for Remembrance Day before kick-off. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:49pm
Bodin has a decent reputation, but hasn't done it for #tufc so far this season. Just 3 goals, but as ex-#stfc I'm sure he's keen to impress.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:49pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I think we need to watch that Bodin lad, got a tad bit more pace than Whingy os Heslop will have to help Andy out.
— @tdcollacott 10 November 2012
2:38pm
Midfielder Nathan Craig reportedly one to watch. Ended up at Camarthen after being released by Everton, but is flying after a trial at #tufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:35pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Think we will win this one, hopefully the lads will be up for it, going to go for a 3-1 win,Craddock x3, Mansell with theirs
— @tdcollacott 10 November 2012
2:35pm
Some debate over how #tufc will line-up, could be 4-4-1-1 or 4-3-3. Jarvis the lone central striker.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:35pm
2 changes for #tufc, Jarvis for Howe (suspended), while in goal Rice does come in for Poke (groin). Lee Mansell, ex-#oufc, skippers the side
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:32pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 4-3-3 is unpopular with the players but might surprise Torquay who would've expected 4-4-2. Nil nil today I think.
— @Andy_Hawkes 10 November 2012
2:31pm
#tufc subs: Leadbitter, Halpin, Cruise, Yeoman, N Thompson, MacKenzie, C Thompson
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:31pm
#tufc XI: Rice, Oastler, Saah, Downes, Nicholson, Mansell, Lathrope, Easton, Craig, Bodin, Jarvis
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:31pm
@OxfordMailOUFC heart says a 2-1 win head says it will be a sloppy 1-0 loss #OUFC
— @andywilmer 10 November 2012
2:25pm
Out come #oufc's players for the warm-up.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:25pm
@OxfordMailOUFC good changes. Chappy has had one good game in the last 5. Raynes is pony and Davis is better than capaldi #OUFC
— @Big_badWolfe 10 November 2012
2:25pm
@OxfordMailOUFC would rather have seen JPP start and go 442
— @AbingdonTony 10 November 2012
2:25pm
@OxfordMailOUFC If they turn up then 3-1, but it's just as likely to go the other way if the players can't be bothered like tuesday! #oufc
— @oufc_pete 10 November 2012
2:19pm
2:19pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-0 oxford
— @moley135 10 November 2012
2:19pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Mullins for Raynes = great, Davis for Capaldi = OK, though I like TC, and Heslop for Chapman? Pointless change.. #oufc
— @oufc_pete 10 November 2012
2:18pm
Now you've seen the team, what are your #oufc score predictions?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:17pm
Surprised Davis is fit enough to start - he only made his 1st appearance as a sub on Tuesday. Heslop in the XI for the 1st time since P Vale
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:15pm
What do we make of that, then. 3 changes for #oufc, Mullins for Raynes, Davis for Capaldi & Heslop for Chapman...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:14pm
#oufc subs: Brown, Raynes, Chapman, Pittman, Capaldi, Forster-Caskey, Marsh
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:14pm
#oufc starting line-up: Clarke, Whing, Mullins, Wright, Davis, Heslop, Cox, Leven, Rigg, Constable, Craddock
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:14pm
Then there's #tufc's away form, just 1 league win in 8. They've lost their last 3, at Barnet, Bristol Rov & Wycombe. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:14pm
Also, 1st choice GK Michael Pope is unlikely to play after picking up a groin injury on Tues. No 2 Martin Rice hasn't started since Aug 2011
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:05pm
Torquay start the day eighth in the table, but there are several reasons to encourage #oufc. For starters, top scorer Rene Howe is suspended
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:05pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Heslop will probably play knowing Wilder. Not good.
— @Andy_Hawkes 10 November 2012
2:04pm
Get the feeling Alfie Potter won't be risked. Wilder said on Thurs the winger should be back for next Sat, v reluctant to gamble today.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:04pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I will have kittens if Mullins doesn't replace Raynes!!
— @ScottHathaway88 10 November 2012
2:03pm
No official team news yet but expect Johnny Mullins to replace Michael Raynes. Wouldn't be surprised to see JFC start either. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:01pm
Looking forward to seeing them in the Youth Cup 2nd round in Wed. If you can't make it to Thame we'll have updates. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:01pm
Let's start with some good news - the #oufc youth team made it 10 wins in a row with a 7-2 win against Hereford earlier. Goaltastic.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
2:00pm
@OxfordMailOUFC getting nervous as I don't know what Oxford side will run up today! Either way #oufc #otid
— @ScottHathaway88 10 November 2012
1:58pm
Have to be honest, I have absolutely no idea what lies ahead this afternoon. #oufc's unpredictability means any result is possible.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 November 2012
1:55pm
