@OxfordMailOUFC the crowds are making me cringe atm, but who can blame fans for staying away with not much to shout about at christmas
— @Mitcheast1 10 December 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC in saying this, I do think we will on Weds, although even sheffield utd at home isn't a glamour tie. Keep the faith!

@OxfordMailOUFC think the club could do a bit more for fans right now, we are taken for granted. Sadly, unlike the team, we are consistent.

@OxfordMailOUFC decent gate? Can't see many coming if we get through tbh, they have no interest look at age turn out up there last year

@OxfordMailOUFC a mention too for Rosie's speech before the minutes applause. Very emotional in his voice. #teammatesforever #oufc

@OxfordMailOUFC I doubt the crowd will be more than 2500.

We'll have updates from the U18s from around 7-ish, but hopefully there will be a decent turnout. Tickets £5 adults... #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
1:18pm
@OxfordMailOUFC My thinking was that will probably be the number of places left on their team coach. They might as well share the costs.

@OxfordMailOUFC Accy will bring 31
— @OUFCGoldenBoy 10 December 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC 35-40 accy fans
— @Clare19752 10 December 2012

While we're on, mustn't forget to mention Chris Allen's fantastic U18s. They're at home to Barnsley in the FA Youth Cup tomorrow...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
...weather permitting it's a 7.30pm ko at Thame Utd. I know many of you've been following their progress closely, should be a good night.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC club could have boosted att by 500-1000 with even a small price reduction. Connection between club and fans deteriorating
— @acherrie1 10 December 2012
1:14pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 14 I reckon!
— @superwayneday 10 December 2012
1:11pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I'll go for a solid 35! #oufc
— @tim_cowley 10 December 2012

@OxfordMailOUFC our Midfield gave Beano absolutely no service what so ever. Lack of ability to make simple passes was shocking.

@OxfordMailOUFC if that's the main transfer income like wilder says a wins a must. Needs to refresh in jan or its a 1 in 1 out #oufc
— @tim_cowley 10 December 2012
1:10pm
@OxfordMailOUFC think we'll see an improvement on Wed, need to kill them off though if we get the chance and not sit on 1-0.
— @realpaulhawtin 10 December 2012
1:10pm
Won't be many, will it Tim? Less than 50? Dag & R had 77 which is the lowest so far. Let's get a sweepstake going, who fancies a punt?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
1:10pm
@OxfordMailOUFC any chance of a guess how many accrington fans will come? 96 for a Saturday league game, midweek replay? #oufc

Sympathise with the ticket prices, but what about the game itself? This is a great chance to go through, isn't it? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
1:03pm
@OxfordMailOUFC on form in recent matches should be cox and chapman, downside is they both love a slide tackle a bit much
— @OUFCAddict 10 December 2012
1:03pm
@OxfordMailOUFC season ticket holders should have been offered big discounts for weds.Time club gave a bit back to those supporting ev week
— @GingerSharpie 10 December 2012
1:02pm
@OxfordMailOUFC personally I think he can only thrive in a midfield 3 with a safety net. Responsibilty in a 2 restricts creativity
— @acherrie1 10 December 2012
1:02pm
As far as I can tell #oufc are still having to manage Leven's knee, which iasn't 100%. That's why he was rested for the JPT.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
1:02pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I'm put off, too much for a replay close to xmas. 3rd round would be full price too i imagine, so no incentive for loyals :(
— @Lewis_Holifield 10 December 2012
1:00pm
@OxfordMailOUFC any explanation for Leven's loss of form? Couldn't even get simple 5 yard passes right on Saturday
— @acherrie1 10 December 2012
1:00pm
Leven & Chapman have combined well as the middle 2 in a 4-man midfield at times this season. Wasn't the prob on Sat they struggled to use...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
...the ball when they had it, rather than not being able to get it back? Or would you rather see Cox in for 1 of them to give some balance?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:59pm
@OxfordMailOUFC £19 to watch them play accrington 2 weeks before xmas in the freezing cold. Disgusting
— @pauloufc86 10 December 2012
12:58pm
@OxfordMailOUFC I expect the price + cold weather + poor performance at the weekend will mean a very low attendance on Wednesday.
— @oxfordyellows 10 December 2012
12:56pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Problem is, neither of them will win the ball in Midfield. You need Cox in there to win the ball and give to the playmaker!
— @OUFCWomble 10 December 2012
12:55pm
Probably a fair point, Kev. Plenty of scope for some sort of deal, tying in with discounts for a poss 3rd rd tie? The club will have their..
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
...reasons and I suppose the proof in the pudding will be Wednesday's attendance. Who's going and who's put off by the price? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:55pm
RT @kevbrooks2: @OxfordMailOUFC do you think wed's game us overpriced? Could have been reduced to get more through through gates
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:55pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Oh and another thing, Using heslop as a scapegoat annoys me. He's a simple player, links up play. Good short passes. #needed
— @OUFCWomble 10 December 2012
12:55pm
@OUFCAddict @OxfordMailOUFC Davis is a LW player. He was played at LB for us and Northampton, but he's a winger.
— @OUFCWomble 10 December 2012
12:51pm
@OxfordMailOUFC sympathy for this. if you include davis as cover for left wing we have three people with pace in our squad
— @OUFCAddict 10 December 2012
12:50pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Beano my man of the match, held ball up well for Chapmans goal, chased everything, defence had a torrid time v Him.
— @OUFCWomble 10 December 2012
12:50pm
@OxfordMailOUFC intent went out of the rule book a long long time again
— @OUFCAddict 10 December 2012
12:50pm
Admittedly I didn't have the best view but thought Heslop may not have seen Mekki until the last moment. Seemed to come from his blind spot?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:50pm
@OxfordMailOUFC too many excuses are being made by the management
— @GingerSharpie 10 December 2012
12:47pm
@OxfordMailOUFC sympathise a bit for Saturday, will need to improve on Wednesday though. Thought Shot's played well so credit deserved there
— @realpaulhawtin 10 December 2012
12:47pm
As for Potter, Wilder said afterwards he had a swollen ankle. If he had played 90 mins there was no way he could play Wed.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:46pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Heslop definite red , wreckless challenge no excuses. Was right by it in ox mail stand. Too many excuses by wilder again !
— @Codydavies1991 10 December 2012
12:46pm
@OxfordMailOUFC looked like a red from where i was sitting. one leg came round from the side the other went straight through the back
— @OUFCAddict 10 December 2012
12:46pm
Little surprised not to see Cox start too, Connor. Think CW felt PL & AC would offer more going forward in a game they expected to control.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:45pm
RT @oxman1965: @OxfordMailOUFC bad decision to replace Potter with Heslop on Sat, lost any attacking threat.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:45pm
@OxfordMailOUFC after saturdays display not very, but sheff utd at home isn't much to play for either!!
— @kevbrooks2 10 December 2012
12:45pm
RT @brownyoufc: @OxfordMailOUFC in Wilder we trust!
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:44pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Would have started Cox over Leven. Leven is out of form, and can't chance the ball around midfield.
— @OUFCWomble 10 December 2012
12:41pm
And did you think Simon Heslop's tackle deserved a red card? #oufc are appealing and will know the results before Wednesday's game.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:41pm
How confident are you about Wednesday' s FA Cup replay with Accrington?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:41pm
Some potential talking pts: What were your thoughts on the Aldershot game - did you sympathise with the performance under the circumstances?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 December 2012
12:41pm
Right, let's open our #oufc chat for business. We're here for the next hour to discuss all-things U's related. Who's first?
