@Yellowtillidie @OxfordMailOUFC How will IL get the message if people just keep being 'loyal'. He says its a business, that goes both ways
— @creashor 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC I'd be surprised if there is many more than 5k there, they will continue to get lower too

@OxfordMailOUFC I would've come & watch the game but I'm working... But got Wycombe tix! I'm stick with #oufc in their insane journey! 🎭

@OxfordMailOUFC wilder can't turn the boys into men and that's the problem #oufc
— @james_sherriff 16 October 2012
11:56am
@OxfordMailOUFC support the club Win lose or draw you can't not go, where's the loyalty if you don't
— @Yellowtillidie 16 October 2012
11:53am
@OxfordMailOUFC I'll be there on Saturday as I have a season ticket and have already paid but I wouldn't blame floating voters not going.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 16 October 2012
11:52am
@OxfordMailOUFC wilder keeps saying sorry but sorry ain't enough sometimes he needs to go #oufc
— @james_sherriff 16 October 2012
11:50am
And what about Accrington on Saturday? How much will last night impact on the gate - who is having second thoughts about going? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:45am
Who are you talking about Chris? What do the rest of you think, who simply isn't good enough? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:45am
@OxfordMailOUFC don't think our strike force is up to it personally. Seem scared to shoot.
— @ollyhowells 16 October 2012
11:44am
@OxfordMailOUFC some of it has to be lack of talent. Are the players brought in good enough really? Certainly not for some of them...
— @chrismase 16 October 2012
11:42am
Wilder said last night he needed some men back in the #oufc team. Injuries aside, does this all come down to a lack of mental resilience?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:36am
I feel your pain Mark, that was a long way to go on a cold, wet night to watch that. Little to cheer about.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:36am
@OxfordMailOUFC bring in @billyelvis1 as a coach. Not GK coach though shouty, aggression coach to get the boys fired up!
— @andywilmer 16 October 2012
@Clare19752 @OxfordMailOUFC Absolutely right. We got into some good positions but we looked frightened to shoot.
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 16 October 2012
11:33am
@OxfordMailOUFC start Potter Whing at right back and try and play more of an offensive game we have the players to do it less injuries
— @andywilmer 16 October 2012
11:31am
@OxfordMailOUFC the whole staff is defence minded ! Need some striker coach at club ! I was 1 of the 127 there last night and was embarrased
— @markltyler 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC We don't concede when the #Warrior is on the field. #AllWeWantIsATeamOfAndyWhings.
— @JackSimpson_93 16 October 2012
11:30am
@OxfordMailOUFC when in front of goal to shoot instead of passing to the wing last night should of scored but instead they passed the ball
— @Clare19752 16 October 2012
11:29am
@OxfordMailOUFC start Whing and play 442 for a start
— @Yellowtillidie 16 October 2012
11:29am
@OxfordMailOUFC wilder was brought in to get us out of the conference done that now its time for a change to take us further he cant do that
— @oufctelboy 16 October 2012
11:28am
@OxfordMailOUFC MOTM for “@JakeCaskey35: Apologise for my performance. Terrible.” He knows they were poor and has admitted it. Takes guts
— @taxiforjacko 16 October 2012
11:28am
@OxfordMailOUFC We have so many Blue Sq Prem players it's unbelievable! #Batt #Chapman #Capaldi #Beano. Bring back Midson & Green!
— @JackSimpson_93 16 October 2012
11:27am
OK, let's say you are Wilder this week. What would you do between now and Accrington to turn this around, other than resign? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:24am
@OxfordMailOUFC not just this season or last nite we been a dull boring uncreative goal shy side for a good few seasons
— @nigel_robins 16 October 2012
11:23am
I'm flying away today, happily buy a one way ticket for wilder too @OxfordMailOUFC
— @le_knight_mare 16 October 2012
11:22am
Was last night more concerning than the lowest point last month (Burton, maybe?) because #oufc lapsed back into the same bad habits?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:22am
@OxfordMailOUFC it's not the first time we've produced something like that so whether it's on tv or not I don't care, it's not good enough
— @Big_badWolfe 16 October 2012
11:20am
@OxfordMailOUFC yes it would be theres no passion no pride wilder cant motivate the team and hes lost the respect of the players
— @oufctelboy 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC we need cover and natural cover at right back, we also need to stick with a front two & not change it, goals will then come
— @Yellowtillidie 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC no, clearly it's an ongoing issue. If it wasn't, #OUFC wouldn't be in the position they're in!
— @chrismase 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC there are no real shoots of recovery. Nothing changed and won't with the players coming back. They need fresh ideas!!
— @oufcwestoxon76 16 October 2012
11:19am
@OxfordMailOUFC Nope. Learn why we didn't make the most of the intelligent passing early on and crucially, learn to persist.
— @GeorgeDugdale 16 October 2012
11:16am
@OxfordMailOUFC Melville as 'defensive coach' must be looked into surely? He's doing a terrible job if so #oufc
— @tim_cowley 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC we beat a decent Cheltenham side who are in the top 3 in the JPT so why couldn't we beat Port Vale? There are no excuses!
— @andywilmer 16 October 2012
11:16am
@OxfordMailOUFC it was the way they gave up when the 2nd went in. Rigg trying to pass it in was infuriating #oufc
— @tim_cowley 16 October 2012
That's an important point, Andy. It's not the first time this season #oufc have started fine but then folded after falling behind.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:16am
We need a players like Pope, home grown with a passion for the club. I saw no passion from Oxford Players last night. @OxfordMailOUFC.
— @JackSimpson_93 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC we have to move on, 3 points on Saturday is vital to avoid us looking at how Barnet are doing instead of Gillingham
— @Yellowtillidie 16 October 2012
11:14am
RT @Yellowtillidie: @OxfordMailOUFC what worried me was the camera panned to Melville and Lewis and they looked as if they didn't know how to change things
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:14am
@OxfordMailOUFC can't defend, haven't been able score in truth last 4 seasons. No depth & no real ideas. Nothing changed from 3 weeks ago
— @oufcwestoxon76 16 October 2012
11:14am
@OxfordMailOUFC forget promotion thats gone we are in a relegation battle in this sort of form but lenagan must be watching a different game
— @oufctelboy 16 October 2012
11:14am
Can last night just be written off? Even if #oufc were flying high it would have been a tricky game against a Vale side bang in form.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:12am
@OxfordMailOUFC 1st 20 mins or so we looked a good team but after the 1st goal there was no passion or drive we've seen it all to often
— @andywilmer 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC agree full backs were poor final ball was awful too, strikers need service. Thought Worley did ok too.
— @realpaulhawtin 16 October 2012
@Oxprogs @oxfordmailoufc can't keep using injuries as an excuse. We are still fielding 1st team players. Wilder has to get more out of them.
— @alanbaker_ 16 October 2012
11:12am
Or rather than worrying about the top 7 should we belooking in the other direction? Who agrees with Alan - #oufc are in a relegation battle?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:09am
@OxfordMailOUFC we may have injuries, but the manager should be able to motivate those available to put up a fight. He didn't do that at all
— @Oxprogs 16 October 2012
11:09am
@OxfordMailOUFC start with a positive that it was good to see Whing get some game time
— @Yellowtillidie 16 October 2012
11:09am
That's 7 league defeats already. Is promotion beyond #oufc? 7 league defeats already, but only six pts from 7th.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:08am
@nigel_robins @oxfordmailoufc we are in a relegation battle. Lenegan has to act. But does he care enough! He is full of spin.
— @alanbaker_ 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC wilder was the same at Halifax. No plan b. clueless going forward, liked to nick a goal and sit back. The excuses get worse!
— @gledders32 16 October 2012
11:06am
It certainly wasn't a great advert for #oufc last night - poor timing for a performance like that when you're live on TV.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 16 October 2012
11:06am
@OxfordMailOUFC When Wilders plan A works it works well but he never has a plan B and that's why we're struggling. #OUFC
— @mdzharris 16 October 2012
11:04am
@OxfordMailOUFC wilder out already in trouble we can turn it around but only if he goes completely clueless nowhere near good enough
— @oufctelboy 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC if we continue with wilder and accept performances like that i believe were gonna b in a relegation battle lenegan act now
— @nigel_robins 16 October 2012
11:04am
@OxfordMailOUFC both full backs last night were woeful. In fact Wright was the only one who can hold his head high!
— @chrismase 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC Rigg I think is the only player that deserves #OUFC MOTM he did try & was keen to silence the Vale fans
— @andywilmer 16 October 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC need to start playing a passing game and not long balls all the time! always loses possession
— @GrantTaylor96 16 October 2012
11:01am
Morning everyone.
Last night seems like the best place to start, what did you make of United's performance on TV?
