@oxfordmailoufc Clarke injured or dropped? Brown won't fare any better with those centre backs in front of him. They're the problem! #OUFC
— Andy Hawkes (@Andy_Hawkes) September 29, 2012

Three of us can't quite figure out what is going on with this OUFC line-up. No idea what shape this is. Wing-backs? Confusion. #OUFC
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) September 29, 2012

The word in the press box is it's a 3-4-3, with a midfield of Capaldi, JFC, Cox and Batt. #oufc

The last time I was as confused by an #OUFC starting line up was when we played the scum at home last season we all know what happened then
— Matthew Green (@mintygreen2) September 29, 2012

Would still put a guess at about 400-500 oxford fans in and out the ground, class considering. #oufc

The teams are on the pitch, with United wearing their blue away strip. #oufc

The referee blows his whistle and we're underway here at the New York Stadium for #rufc vs #oufc .

Here we go then. #oufc twitter.com/OxfordMailOUFC…

We losing yet #oufc

GOAL! #rufc 0 #oufc 1 (Rigg 7) Do not adjust your Twitter feed! JFC rolls a corner into Rigg, who blasts low in at the near post from 20yds
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Fatman, what's the score? Fatman, fatman, what's the score? #rufc #oufc
— Youcef El Barhdadi (@yelbarhdadi) September 29, 2012

Rigg's shot was the first on target of the game and despite #rufc starting with some good possession, they find themselves behind.

#rufc 0 #oufc 1 The away fans sing to Wilder, who applauds them.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Whatever I said last week about Wilder, I take back (or at least will if the score remains the same) #oufc
— Macka (@MackaWasHere) September 29, 2012

#rufc 0 #oufc 1 Very clear United are taking ano nonsense approach with the ball in their own half. It's getting launched, no risks.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

16 The ball drops to Alfie from a headed clearance and his volley has Shearer palming the ball into the air before catching it #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 29, 2012

22 Midway through the first half and United are looking good value for their lead. The Millers have yet to have a goal attempt #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 29, 2012

Worley in front of the back four is clever. Blocking Rotherham's route to the big man. Hope it continues to be effective. #OUFC
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) September 29, 2012

A spectacular overhead kick from Evans goes just wide after O'Connor's corner causes a scramble in the box. #rufc #oufc
— Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) September 29, 2012

#rufc 0 #oufc 1 Lucky escape for the visitors . Brown drops a cross and the follow up shot hots Batt, the post, the bar and bounces clear.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Fans and players ready to celebrate as Pringle's effort looked destined for the back of the net, great last ditch defending by #oufc
— Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) September 29, 2012

COME ON #OUFC twitter.com/JamSebRob/stat…

Sorry people, my account seems to have been hacked. I keep getting tweets saying we're winning. #OUFC
— Oxtweeter (@oxtweeter) September 29, 2012

Ainsworth thunders against the crossbar from the back post. Odejayi is then fouled in the area. Penalty to #rufc
— Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) September 29, 2012

Scored 1-1 #oufc
— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) September 29, 2012

For those of you that aren't here. Damian Batt just did one on us. Fuxking idiot #OUFC
— James S. Robinson (@JamSebRob) September 29, 2012

You can't help but feel it's been coming after the home side hit the woodwork on two occasions. Game on here at New York. #rufc #oufc
— Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) September 29, 2012

HT: #rufc 1 #oufc 1 Better from Wilder's men. Rigg's opener got them away to a great start, but O'Connor's penalty means the sides are level
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Rotherham are clearly on top, but they're also very beatable at the back. There is hope here. Better than expected. #OUFC
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) September 29, 2012

Spirited first half performance, bar Batts stupid lunge. Worley MOTM so far, hoping he can do 90. #oufc
— Si Bradders (@BraddersSimon) September 29, 2012

Encouraged with that. God movement up front and lots of creativity. Shame about the careless challenge but still there to be won #oufc
— Chris Brown (@Chris_Brown7) September 29, 2012

#rufc 1 #oufc 1 The second half is up and running. This game is there for the taking.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Evans nutmegs an Oxford defender before cutting in and unleashing a powerful strike at goal. Brown turns it behind for a corner. #rufc #oufc
— Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) September 29, 2012

#rufc 1 #oufc 1 Frenetic spell as Rigg has a header tipped over. Decent spell but at the other end Brown just saves from Pringle
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

61 United under the cosh as first Wright clears off the line and then Brown has to dive to save a header from Agard #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 29, 2012

#rufc 1 #oufc 1 Worley comes off to a big round of applause from the away fans. Leven on.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Rigg does brilliantly down the left before driving a low shot at goal which Shearer gets down well to save. #rufc #oufc
— Rotherham United (@OfficialRUFC) September 29, 2012

Attendance here at New York is 7,258 with 460 away fans present. #rufc #oufc

69 Strong shouts for a penalty from the home fans as Brown and Odejayi collide, but referee Salisbury was right there #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 29, 2012

GOAL! #rufc 2 (O'Connor 74) #oufc 1 O'Connor drives home his second of the game to leave United in trouble.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Fucking ref played a nice one two to set the goal up. Get out the way you prick #OUFC
— Chris Brown (@Chris_Brown7) September 29, 2012

Here come all the Wilder outers. #oufc

— russwatts (@russwatts5) September 29, 2012

Wilder better get sacked after this. #oufc
— Grant Taylor (@GrantTaylor96) September 29, 2012

78 A sweeping Rotherham move ends with Pringle shooting first time, but Brown makes an excellent save to palm the ball over #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) September 29, 2012

I've always been a supporter of his but it looks like Chris Wilder has lost the dressing room #oufc
— Michael Chilcott (@isibuko) September 29, 2012

GOAL! #rufc 3 (Taylor 88) #oufc 1 Seconds after Constable hit the post Rotherham break and finish the game. Fine lines.

— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) September 29, 2012

Beano misses an absolute sitter and they score on the break. Not been awful today, but that sums this period up. #OUFC
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) September 29, 2012

@oufclive Life is so cruel to us at the moment #COYY #OUFC
— BH16yellow (@BH16yellow) September 29, 2012

FT: Rotherham 3 - 1 Oxford. United competed but the score tells a different story, and that’s all that really matters unfortunately #oufc
— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) September 29, 2012

Lovely #rufc twitter.com/Chris_Sando/st…
— Chris Sanderson (@Chris_Sando) September 29, 2012

@oufclive think we might have to just change the #oufc hashtag to #ouch these days :(
— Chris Quartly (@Chris_Quartly) September 29, 2012

Wake me up when September ends #oufc #wilderout
— Scott Collins ⚽ (@ScottCollins88) September 29, 2012

Joint worst run in our history. That hurts. #oufc
— Olly Howells (@ollyhowells) September 29, 2012

September is the new November. We always have a month where it goes tits up. #oufc
— Youcef El Barhdadi (@yelbarhdadi) September 29, 2012

If Wilder doesn't go after this then I'm afraid it's clear, at least to me, that there is no real desire to succeed. End this now. #oufc
— Creashor (@creashor) September 29, 2012

Not sure where we go from here. The tensions are so high that a section went absolutely apeshit when Craddock was subbed. #OUFC
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) September 29, 2012

Officially at an all time low!
