Almost ready for pens, which will be taken at the Oxford Mail Stand End. Can Clarkey come up trumps once again? #oufc

#oufc 3 #southendunited 3 The visitors are changing their keepers with penalties looming and no 1 Paul Smith is fuming.

9:17pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 3 United not out of this one yet. Craddock flicks a Rigg cross just over, while Potter shoots straight at the GK.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
9:10pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 3 Double change for U's, Davis and Parker on for O'Brien and Marsh.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
9:09pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 3 Capaldi's clever ball frees O'Brien, his low cross is almost put in for an own goal. 25 mins left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
9:02pm
GOAL! #oufc 2 #southendunited 3 (Corr 59) Lovely finish from Corr, curled into the top corner from the edge of the box.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
9:00pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 2 Should be 3-2 Southend as Clohessy crosses for Tomlin, who heads against the crossbar.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:58pm
GOAl! #oufc 2 #southendunited 2 (Clohessy 54) Really bad error from O'Brien, who heads Clohessy into score.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:56pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 1 Leyton Orient have beaten Yeovil 1-0, so will play tonight's winners in the two legged area final.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:49pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 1 Off we go again, hopefully the break has done nothing to upset United's rhythm.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:34pm
HT: #oufc 2 #southendunited 1 United bounce back superbly from Corr's early goal and lead after efforts from Marsh and Craddock.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:34pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 1 A corner falls to Heslop. He has a dip, wide. Shows the confidence coming back.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:31pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 1 The hosts won't want half time to come at the moment. It's a cobbled together team, but it's working.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:28pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 1 Capaldi into Marsh, little curled shot is turned round the post. Southend clear the corner.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:26pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 1 Worth stressing the assist for Craddock's goal - a 50-yard diagonal ball from Heslop.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:21pm
#oufc 2 #southendunited 1 The assistant ref took an age to give the goal, but it was cleared well behind the line. 12 goals for Craddock now
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:18pm
GOAL! #oufc 2 (Craddock 31) #southendunited 1 Smashing ball from Heslop, Craddock runs on and lobs Smith.

@OxfordMailOUFC Headline tomorrow morning: "Cracking Cup Ty!" #Boom #ownit
— @OUFC1976 08 January 2013
8:14pm
#oufc 1 #southendunited 1 Big chance for Southend as United struggle to clear their lines. Tomlin heads a fraction wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:10pm
#oufc 1 #southendunited 1 That goal has really settled United down after the early setback. Rigg looks in the mood, bends a shot just wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:04pm
#oufc 1 #southendunited 1 Raynes has a shot deflected wide on his left foot. Corner cleared but when it comes back Marsh has a header saved.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:02pm
GOAL! #oufc 1 (Marsh 13) #southendunited 1 The youngster gets his first senior goal. Potter does well, Rigg header parried to Marsh.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
8:02pm
#oufc 0 #southendunited 1 Tomlin spins Heslop and has a shot blocked. It falls to Straker, who blasts wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:56pm
#oufc 0 #southendunited 1 Hurst with the assist. United may argue the fk given away by Wright was harsh. Still have to defend it though.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:52pm
GOAL! #oufc 0 #southendunited 1 (Corr 6) Early blow for the visitors as Corr heads in a t a fk.

@OxfordMailOUFC is this classed as a crowd or gathering?
— @benmul9 08 January 2013
7:37pm
Less than ten mins to kick-off, not too many in at #oufc... http://t.co/aOnf6jEK
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:30pm
Those 3 wins mean #oufc are at this stage for the first time. Southend have come past AFC Wimbledon, Dagenham and Brentford.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:29pm
Worth recapping how both sides reached this stage. #oufc have come past Swindon (anyone remember that?), Cheltenham and Plymouth.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:23pm
The Southend midfield includes Michael Timlin, who was sent off in #oufc's 2-0 win in the league here in August.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:22pm
That's just about the strongest side Southend could have picked. Striker Assombalonga is injured, Laird cup tied. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:20pm
Southend subs v #oufc: Bentley, Martin, Prosser, Leonard, Benyon

Southend XI v #oufc: Smith, Clohessy, Phillips, Cresswell, Barker, Hurst, Woodyard, Timlin, Straker, Corr, Tomlin
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:13pm
We've just heard Leven hasn't been rested, he has a knock. No idea what it is or how serious, we'll find out afterwards. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:13pm
@andywilmer @OxfordMailOUFC it would be a great day out with not much to lose. No pressure, just enjoy the moment. Bring it on
— @OUFC1976 08 January 2013
7:09pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Wembley is Wembley no matter the competition we need to get behind the team 100%
— @andywilmer 08 January 2013
7:08pm
The other game in the southern section, Leyton Orient v Yeovil has already kicked off. 0-0 so far. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:08pm
Not expecting a big crowd tonight but it's worth reiterating the winners tonight will be just one round from a Wembley final. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:06pm
Off the top of my head think Heslop and Capaldi have only played together in the middle once before - at Leeds in Aug, and that was in a 3.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:03pm
@OxfordMailOUFC all for giving lev as rest but heslop and Tony not liking that middle two :-(
— @custhemoose 08 January 2013
7:03pm
No hot tips but if you can put bets on assists, then Kevan Hurst's would be worth a look - his 13 this season is the best in Football League
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:03pm
RT @custhemoose: @OxfordMailOUFC what tip do u have for me tonight ? #TopTipping
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
7:02pm
Think it will still be 4-4-2 for #oufc, with Capaldi and Heslop in the middle of the park. Rigg and Potter out wide, Craddock & Marsh up top
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
6:59pm
@OxfordMailOUFC who will play in the middle ? Or 4-3- 3
— @custhemoose 08 January 2013
6:59pm
@OxfordMailOUFC A nice strong team - wise changes from Wilder too. Good to see Leven and Dubes given a rest, equally good to see Marsh!
— @willowsj 08 January 2013
6:59pm
@OxfordMailOUFC good to hear lets hope he gets more than 45 mins this game #youngtalent
— @custhemoose 08 January 2013
6:59pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Huge game for Marsh. Really hope he pulls it out of the bag and makes himself a local hero
— @oufcgeorge 08 January 2013
6:59pm
Tyrone Marsh's only other senior start came in the previous JPT round at Plymouth. He was in a front 3, likely to be in a 2 tonight.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
6:57pm
Leven given a rest altogether, Duberry is on the bench alongside the returning Davis. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
6:56pm
Three changes for #oufc. Raynes, Rigg and Marsh in for Duberry, Leven and the cup tied Richards. What do you think? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
6:55pm
#oufc subs: Duberry, Brown, Worley, Parker, Davis
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
6:54pm
#oufc XI to face Southend: Clarke, Batt, Raynes, Wright, O'Brien, Potter, Heslop, Capaldi, Rigg, Craddock, Marsh
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
6:53pm
Is it just us or does the pitch at #oufc look better from up here? Could be a bit of green paint... http://t.co/B1oWHyqS
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
6:49pm
Mild evening at #oufc but there's some light rain around so we could have a greasy surface tonight.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 08 January 2013
