Cheltenham Town 2-1 Oxford United: The Match in Tweets

Oxford fell to yet another defeat, this time away at Cheltenham and there can be no denying that enthusiasm for the club now seems to be at its lowest point in quite some time. So much so that we were unable to find anyone willing to write about last night's match for us, so instead here is the match in Tweets. If you can help us out with future match reports, just email us at tbfuth@hotmail.co.uk.

Tonight is all about the ugly side of the game. #oufc are looking for players with courage in the wake of Saturday.

— Cheltenham Town FC (@CTFCofficial) September 18, 2012

Hope all the #oufc fans at Whaddon Road boo Zebroski ferociously... And Deering .

#Cheltenham #CTFC @ctfcofficial @football_league Any comment that the £22 cost for oufc fans is more than a ticket for the San Siro tonight?

— SwissYellow (@swissyellow) September 18, 2012

Half an hour to kick off, the ground deserted, the surrounding areas deserted. I fear tonight's attendance could be embarrassing #ctfc

— Tim Nicholls (@MrNipps) September 18, 2012

Wilders made a massive gamble starting tonight with 10 men! #heslop #oufc

— Tim Goodman (@OufcGoody) September 18, 2012

There's no doubt this game has much more on it for #oufc than you'd normally have at this time of year. A response is needed, fast.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

For all that, the mood around #oufc could be very different if they pick up 6, or even 4 points by Saturday tea time.

Just seen Jim Rosenthal turn into the Whaddon Road car park. #oufc #oxfordtillhedies

— Daniel Freeman (@danielfreeman83) September 18, 2012

The teams are coming out at a rather chilly Whaddon Road. United resplendent in all yellow. #oufc

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

A frantic start from both sides with Oxford and Cheltenham both looking to put recent bad runs behind them #oufc

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

5 Cheltenham win the game's first corner, on a rare foray forward. Alan Bennett's shot is clasped by Clarke #oufc

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 0 #oufc Pittman has another dig, deflected wide. But worryingly he's gone down and is getting some treatment.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

JPP off injured already. Potter on #oufc

— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) September 18, 2012

how much did we spend on sport science to cut down on injuries? #oufc #morethanever

— rich hanna (@oufc_turkish) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 Chapman's low shot is seen late by Brown, who gets a hand to it. Smalley's follow up ruled out, it's a goal kick.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 0 #oufc 0 United shooting on sight. Smalley has a go from 25 yards, on target but parried by Brown. Good contest so far.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

1-0 to Cheltenham. United behind from another strike from distance #oufc

— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) September 18, 2012

McGlashan crossed just over Zebroski but found it's way to Carter and the midfielder unleashes a superb strike for his first #CTFC goal. 1-0

— Cheltenham Town FC (@CTFCofficial) September 18, 2012

@willh13 This month's League Two goal of the month will be made up of teams scoring against Oxford.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

Against the run of play as United have been the better team.#oufc

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

Seriously, what the fuck is going on? Three wins on the bounce followed by 3 losses, board members resigning and now we're down again? #OUFC

— Olly Howells (@ollyhowells) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 1 #oufc 0 Less than five mins until the break, United probing for an equaliser. Not much conviction in the final third, though.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

HT: Cheltenham 1 - 0 Oxford. United restricted to long range efforts, rarely troubling the keeper. Cheltenham scoring from long range. #oufc

— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) September 18, 2012

We need a Chesterfield two seasons ago kind of moment to turn this around. Closing players down would be a start though #oufc

Has the double dip recession hit Oxford particularly hard? About 500 less at #ctfc than last season COYR

— Christopher Clark (@chris_clark_) September 18, 2012

Decent first half of football but deserved lead for #CTFC IMO with the Robins edging proceedings. United still offering a threat.

— James Brown (@JamesBrownCTFC) September 18, 2012

Players ready for the second half twitter.com/OUFClive/statu…

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

Thrilling start to the half. Chapman struck the post from a freekick and Marlon Pack forces Clarke into a save from a header. #CTFC

— Cheltenham Town FC (@CTFCofficial) September 18, 2012

53 Cheltenham take the world's worst corner - straight to Potter midway in the Oxford half #oufc

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

Exceptional support from #oufc fans tonight. The team get the support and should be repaying the fans with a minimum 110% effort!

— OUFCGoldenBoy (@OUFCGoldenBoy) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 1 #oufc 0 United enjoying their best spell of the game. Batt crosses and Craddock has another shot, this time Brown saves.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

GOAL | #CTFC 2 (Harrad 60) #OUFC 0 - Stunning striker from Harrad hands a bigger lead to the Robins

— Cheltenham Town FC (@CTFCofficial) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 2-0 #oufc screamer after screamer against us, what have we done to deserve this?

— Yellow & Blue (@WeAreOxford) September 18, 2012

Leven. Peter Leven and Beano coming on. Heslop and Craddock off #oufc

— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 2 #oufc 0 Have to say Leven is a gamble with 25 mins left to play.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

@londonwelshrfc - you want him? - RT @oufclive: 64 Heslop tries a shot from 24 yards but it goes high and wide #oufc”

— Junior (@junioroufc) September 18, 2012

Could be worse, could be 4 down #burton #oufc

— Yellow & Blue (@WeAreOxford) September 18, 2012

For me, only backroom uncertainty can explain our dip. The entire club has been turned upside down #oufc

— Andrew Cherrie (@acherrie1) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 2 #oufc 0 Wright has a go on the volley from 35 yds, way over. This is getting desperate. Again. 15 mins left, spark needed.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

80 Penalty to United as Constable is pulled down in the areaby Alan Bennett #oufc

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

GOAL! #ctfc 2 #oufc 1 (Leven pen 80) Leven gives united a lifeline. Constable was being held by Bennett.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 2-1 #oufc cue the comeback...

— Yellow & Blue (@WeAreOxford) September 18, 2012

83 Fierce angled drive from the edge of the area by Chapman goes over, but not by much #oufc

— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 18, 2012

#ctfc 2 #oufc 1 United giving this a real go. Chapman grazes the crossbar with one shot, Smalley stings Brown's fingertips with another.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

FT: #ctfc 2 #oufc 1 Leven's penalty just a consolation in the end. United improved from Sat, but still not enough to win.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 18, 2012

Cheltenham Town's first home League victory over Oxford United since 2002 #ctfc #oufc

— Jon Palmer (@JPEchoRobins) September 18, 2012

Perhaps Oxford can send Wilder to Coventry #coldshoulder #OUFC

— Dave Sparkes (@DaveSparkes) September 18, 2012

4 league losses in a row. Not good enough #oufc

— ✖Connor Giltrap (@ConnorGiltrap) September 18, 2012

At least we had a go this time... Four losses on the bounce is pathetic though. #oufc

— Olly Howells (@ollyhowells) September 18, 2012

This isn't just about the last 4 games, it is bigger than that, this goes back to march April last season #timeforachange #oufc

— Daniel Theobald (@Englands_urn) September 18, 2012

IL wont sack CW because it will cost the club money. It will have to be a resignation & CW is just too arrogant to consider it... #oufc

#oufc Since being linked with the managerialjob at Coventry, Chris Wilder's Oxford Utd have not won a league game. 4 defeats. Coincidence?

— Nabil Hassan (@NabilHassan79) September 18, 2012

At this rate local derby next season will be Oxford utd v Oxford city #wilderout #oufc

— stephen lewis (@luckylewis8) September 18, 2012

Anybody fancy going to Watch @oxcityfc vs @oufclive Next season??? #OUFC #OCFC #WILDEROUT #FORDYIN

— James Stansfield (@JamesStansfield) September 18, 2012

Wilder the favourite for League 1 Coventry City job one minute, calls for his head the next. I don't get it. #kneejerk #weneedastriker #oufc

— Matt Richardson (@lardydardydah) September 18, 2012

Wilder is under pressure, no doubt, but I would stick by him. #oufc

— Ben Stone (@MrBenStone) September 18, 2012

Can't quite stretch myself to be part of the 'wilder out' brigade, but he's pushing me close... #oufc

— Charlie Chamberlain (@_Charlie_C) September 18, 2012

CW has done a ledge job for #oufc but has he taken them as far as he can now !?!? maybe change time !

— jamie cook (@_jamiecook_) September 19, 2012

Gutted to hear the lads suffered defeat again. But I'm confident things will come good and very soon. #COYY #OUFC #PositiveVibz

— Michael Duberry (@Original_Dubes) September 18, 2012

Still gutted about tonight, didn't deserve to lose the game! We stick together, and move on to Saturday! Massive performance needed! #OUFC ⚽
