That's it for today, is it really only two weeks since #oufc were top of the table? Thanks for your input as always.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012

All very well, but will it be any better next week? #oufc have little time to regroup, a trip to Cheltenham awaits on Tuesday night.

Jake Wright not pulling any punches either. "#oufc were poor, I don't think anyone was good enough. We've let the fans and the gaffer down..
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
...(Wright contd.) We prepare right all week and then I don't think we turned up." #oufc

@OxfordMailOUFC : same ole post match interview with Wilder! Can't praise Burton enough, stuttering & stammering talking about his team!!!!
— @ConradMynes 15 September 2012
5:30pm
Wilder: "We can't get away from the fact that's certainly not good enough from us all." #oufc

Still waiting for Chris Wilder. The #oufc players are back out warming down, looking a little ashen-faced.

Burton boss Gary Rowett: "Goals change games, I felt for the first 25 mins #oufc were as threatening a team as we have played this season."

4:32pm
#bafc 4 #oufc 0 Richards on for Zola, who gets a big ovation from the home fans. 15 mins left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:24pm
GOAL! #bafc 4 (Zola 66) oufc 0 Game over. Zola collects a cross and fires past Clarke.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:24pm
GOAL! #bafc 3 (Maghoma 65) #oufc 0 Maghoma on target again, this time with a soft free kick. "What a load of rubbish" sing some away fans.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:21pm
#bafc 2 #oufc 0 Wright gets booked for bringing Zola down on the edge of the box.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:12pm
#bafc 2 #oufc 0 Pittman lashes a shot from 20 yds, tipped over. Dyer on for Taylor.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:09pm
#bafc 2 #oufc 0 United showing some good fight since the break, but again they've given themselves a mountain to climb.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:06pm
#bafc 2 #oufc 0 Looks like 4-2-3-1, with Potter, Craddock & Pittman behind Smalley.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:04pm
#bafc 2 #oufc 0 The two subs combine straight away. Pittman crosses for Craddock, whose shot is deflected over.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
4:02pm
@OxfordMailOUFC time for wilder to go . What's going on with our club things are not right at the moment ? #coyy
— @custhemoose 15 September 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC what's happened to the back four?
— @JamesPitt85 15 September 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC what a terrible half of footy. Wilder needs to sort this out! #shambles. #wilderout
— @alanbaker_ 15 September 2012
4:02pm
#bafc 2 #oufc 0 Double change for United. Pittman & Craddock for Boateng & Rigg.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:48pm
HT: #bafc 2 #oufc 0 Two exquisite finishes separate the sides. United staring at a third straight league defeat as it stands.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:45pm
GOAL! #bafc 2 (Maghoma 45) #oufc 0 Another great finish, as Maghoma curls in off the bar from 20yds.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:41pm
#bafc 1 #oufc 0 United have definitely been the better side since the goal, but haven't created a great deal.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:38pm
#bafc 1 #oufc 0 Batt thunders a shot into the net but the whistle had gone. Three players down in the box after a clash of heads at a corner
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:33pm
#bafc 1 #oufc 0 Loose clearance from Tomlinson goes straight to Potter, who cuts inside and shoots wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:26pm
GOAL! #bafc 1 (Zola 25) #oufc 0 Stunning goal out of nothing. Zola chests a long ball and then volleys in from 30 yards.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:18pm
#bafc 0 #oufc 0 McCrory hits the crossbar after a fk hits the wall. Clarke was probably beaten.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:11pm
#bafc 0 #oufc 0 Almost a bizarre opener as Clarke nearly caught out by the bounce of a Burton cross. Just parries it on the line.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:09pm
#bafc 0 #oufc 0 Raynes heads just over at a corner. Good work from Smalley to force it in the first place.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
3:05pm
#bafc 0 #oufc 0 Not much in this so far. Both sides have booted the ball out of the stadium once. Even Stevens.

Uninspiring defensive team - concede one change team concede three. Same old same old. Well done Wilder keep up the 'progress.'
Note that this comment is posted before kick off.
3:00pm
#bafc 0 #oufc 0 Away we go, visitors defending in front of the travelling fans.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:58pm
Almost ready to go here. #oufc http://t.co/uMmEI3y6
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:56pm
Think Olly won that, #oufc fans in a buoyant mood now. Hugs all round from the mascots, lovely stuff.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:53pm
@OxfordMailOUFC last year he fell over his own feet twice in front of away fans, once due to his laces being undone. Bound to score today.
— @acherrie1 15 September 2012
2:53pm
These mascots can take a mean penalty. #oufc #bafc http://t.co/ZI3GXK2Z
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:53pm
Big cheers from the away end as Olly the Ox scores past the Burton mascot from the pen spot.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:48pm
No Peter Leven in the squad today but he is here, sat in the dugout at the moment. Shouldn't be too long before we see him out there. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:48pm
Seem to remember Calvin Zola turning into something of a legend on Champ Manager back in the day. Hope he has a quiet afternoon. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:45pm
@OxfordMailOUFC love it!!!!
— @kevbrooks2 15 September 2012
2:43pm
Good to have Harry Worley back in the squad. Like fellow #oufc sub today Lee Cox he's not ready to start, but it's a sign of progress.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:40pm
@OxfordMailOUFC definitely need to win today, im predicting a hard fought 2-1 away win Smalley and Rigg goals. #oufc
— @TomThewlis 15 September 2012
2:40pm
O'Brien's taken the no. 23 shirt. Very much like Michael Jordan, David Beckham. And Alex Evans. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:40pm
Today the #oufc light blue away kit is making its debut. What do we think about it? I'm not sure.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:39pm
Welcome to #oufc's new boy, Luke O'Brien (just past Jake Wright in the photo). http://t.co/YPIOhC9i
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:34pm
Ryan Clarke warming up in front of the #oufc fans. Anyone spot themselves? http://t.co/zBJF2NjT
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:29pm
Hard to know what to expect from #bafc. They've won at Sheff Utd & Leicester in the cup and put 6 past AFC Wimbledon...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
...but have also lost to Exeter, Rotherham & Fleetwood. Neither them or #oufc have drawn in League 2 so far.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:24pm
RT @yelbarhdadi: @OxfordMailOUFC Batt and Capaldi have to be up and down all game for it to work. This is where the fitness money comes ...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:23pm
@oxfordmailoufc think it could be a 3-4-3. Will be very interesting to see how that plays out responsibility wise. #OUFC
— @GeorgeDugdale 15 September 2012

2:17pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-1 #oufc
— @neiljreeves 15 September 2012
2:17pm
JFC is out with a virus. Boateng comes in, believe they are going 3-4-3 with Boateng, Raynes and Wright at the back. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:15pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Rather have 2 Capaldi's
— @Chris_hogg 15 September 2012
Oops, Capaldi's not in twice. Heslop completes the line-up.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:14pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Tony Capaldi. So good they played him twice ;) #oufc
— @Sam_Leslie7 15 September 2012
@OxfordMailOUFC Have we signed Tony's brother?
— @yelbarhdadi 15 September 2012
2:14pm
Oops, Capaldi's not in twice. Heslop completes the line-up.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012

— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:11pm
@OxfordMailOUFC If Raynes and Wright are in the centre of defence I'd be over the moon with a point! #leaky
— @Andy_Hawkes 15 September 2012
2:07pm
And as always, your score predictions are most welcome. Who's up for this? #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:07pm
How confident are we all feeling? Would you take a point for #oufc after a couple of defeats, or are these three pts up for grabs?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 15 September 2012
2:03pm
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another sunny Saturday - that's four out of five so far this season.
Oxford United have had a week off and are looking to bounce back to form after defeats against York and Exeter.
