Worth mentioning @JakeCaskey35, shame he couldn't get on for #oufc today before heading back to Brighton. Young lad, big future.

Moaner here. COYY . Excellent to beat one of the top three. If we fail to go up this season then it will be a massive disappointment. CW – we must do it!

Raynes missed out for #oufc today with a virus.

Wilder: "It was a big performance, we weren't at our best but it was a different type of game. We dug and competed." #oufc

FT: #oufc 1 #ctfc 0 A really tense finish, but what a great result for United. Leven's penalty seals a fourth straight win, 10 unbeaten.

#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Wright has been immense today. Brilliant performance.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
4:37pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Cheltenham threatening again, a couple of shots whistling just over the bar. Going to be a tense last 15 mins at this rate.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
4:30pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Chance for Parker, who shoots over. Capaldi on for Rigg.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
4:21pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Craddock gets booked and is hastily replaced by Parker.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013

#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Official attendance is 6,951 (637 away) which makes it the biggest home L2 gate here this season.

4:13pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Chance as Constable plays in Potter. His cross is dangerous, but Town scramble clear.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
4:11pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Enforced change for the visitors as Pack replaces a limping Carter.

#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 We're off again after the break, no changes.

HT: #oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Not much of a spectacle, but United lead thanks to Peter Leven's penalty. Plenty still to do, though.

#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Another excellent tackle from Wright keeps Cheltenham out. He's been superb, as has O'Brien.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:41pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Not much rhythm in this game. The pitch isn't helping but a lot of free-kicks are breaking it up too.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:35pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Rigg almost in on goal, but Constable's pass is a smidge too hard and Brown gets there first.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:32pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Cheltenham enjoying a decent spell but United have defended well so far.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:27pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Taylor, on loan from Reading, gets the better of Batt but his shot is tame and Clarke saves easily.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:27pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 The Kassam holds its breath as a Rigg cross falls to Dubes. The big man cuts inside but bends a shot wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:24pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Cheltenham's centre backs look vulnerable. Craddock wins a corner, which Rigg meets but heads well wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:22pm
@OxfordMailOUFC backed him 1st goal 12/1 and anytime 9/2 many thanks #toptipester
— @custhemoose 01 January 2013
3:22pm
#oufc 1 #ctfc 0 Correction, it was Jombati who tripped Craddock. Lovely ball from Rigg to set it up though.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:21pm
Should have listened to @OxfordMailOUFC and put £ on levs to score first
— @richclareoufc 01 January 2013
3:17pm
GOAl! #oufc 1 (Leven pen 16) #ctfc 0 Leven tucks away his third penalty of the season vs Cheltenham.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:17pm
#oufc 0 #ctfc 0 Penalty United! Craddock tripped by Bennett. Leven steps up...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:14pm
#oufc 0 #ctfc 0 Potter tries his luck from range, good strike but straight at Brown, who parries.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:10pm
#oufc 0 #ctfc 0 Duffy almost in, but Wright reads the danger and cuts it out. Both sides tentative, adapting to the surface.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
3:04pm
#oufc 0 #ctfc 0 Not much in the opening exchanges. Decent banter flying between the two sets of fans.

Think there's a decent chance of this one being #oufc's biggest home league attendance of the season. Held by the 6,906 for Plymouth in Aug.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:53pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Attendance wise. I say about 7,500. #HappyNewYear2013

@OxfordMailOUFC just backed him I will be in touch if I lose lol . Happy new year #coyy

Expecting around 500 #ctfc fans to have made the short trip down the A40, which should help the atmosphere.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013

Weather conditions are good for football. Light breeze, bit of sunshine, very nice. http://t.co/U5C7JKEN

@OxfordMailOUFC 2-1 Oxford
— @Clare19752 01 January 2013
2:35pm
That's an unchanged XI for #ctfc, who will be 4-4-2. Marlon Pack, many people's L2 player of 11/12, only on the bench.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:34pm
@OxfordMailOUFC and constable to score both! #OUFC
— @TomThewlis 01 January 2013
2:33pm
@OxfordMailOUFC think constable will be desperate to get a couple of goals incase he ends up getting suspended. Fancy Oxford 2 Cheltenham 0

@OxfordMailOUFC also scored a belting free kick passed an england international keeper last season
— @MrPaulMichael 01 January 2013
2:22pm
That haul includes penalties in both games this season - a 2-1 league defeat in Sept and a 4-2 win in the JPT in Oct. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:22pm
If you fancy a flutter today, how about backing Peter Leven to score? He's got three goals in the last four meetings with #ctfc. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:19pm
But...#ctfc have had problems on the road. They have leaked an eye watering 14 goals in their last four outings. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:19pm
Cheltenham flying high after a 4-0 beating of Wycombe on Boxing Day. They're also well rested after Sat's game was postponed.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:14pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Good feeling for today after two strong away performances. 2-0 Oxford. Rigg & Beano
— @CaptainTomox 01 January 2013
2:14pm
Couldn't agree more, Pete. Big test for #oufc today, win and they would be flying, lose and it's a step back again.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:12pm
@OxfordMailOUFC A win today would be a big, positive statement. It could be a season of two halves
— @petechilton 01 January 2013
2:12pm
Thoughts on that team then? Don't forget to ping your score predictions over...#oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:11pm
One change for #oufc, Duberry makes his first start since May. Raynes must have a problem, he's not in the squad.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:09pm
#oufc subs: Brown, Capaldi, Worley, Heslop, Forster-Caskey, Parker, Marsh
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013

#oufc XI to play #ctfc: Clarke, Batt, Duberry, Wright, O'Brien, Potter, Cox, Leven, Rigg, Constable, Craddock
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
2:02pm
Let's start with the pitch (we Tweeted a pic 30 mins ago). The problem area by the tunnel doesn't look good, the rest isn't great but OK.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 01 January 2013
1:59pm
The pitch at #oufc. We assume the red and white tape will be removed before kick-off. http://t.co/msnbZNMi

Good afternoon and welcome to 2013!
Hopefully Oxford United can begin the year as they finished the last, with a convincing victory.
Cheltenham Town, sitting third in the table, will provide a stern test, though, so this should be an interesting game.
