Fleetwood Town 3-0 Oxford United: The Match in Tweets

Oxford came crashing back to Earth with a crushing 3-0 defeat away Fleetwood. If last weekend's break from football slowed the momentum from an excellent eight-match unbeaten run in the league, this result has surely stopped it dead in its tracks. On a positive note, at least we don't support Swindon...

@bigbananaboys I'm on London Road Club, we're on the M6 now. The further North we go, the more snow appears! #oufc

Safe journey to the #yellowarmy travelling all the way to Fleetwood. #oufc

Morning! Hope everyone traveling up to Fleetwood have a safe journey! Wish I was playing today, hope the lads continue the great run! #OUFC⚽

Sunshine & shovels make easy work of very light snow covering the pitch. Fleetwood Town v Oxford Utd KO 3pm. @oufclive twitter.com/ftfc/status/29…

In position at Fleetwood, where #oufc have arrived. Pitch playable, but as you can see, is a bit muddy... twitter.com/OxfordMailOUFC…
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

Pitch is unplayable, shocking #oufc
— AshleyHall(@AshleyHall07) January 26, 2013

Fleetwood Town, a club with so much money and ambition, they're calling them the Rushden and Diamonds of thenorth. #oufc

Both #oufc and #ftfc had their games postponed last weekend, so have not played for a fortnight. Interesting to see which is better prepared

Heslop starts :( :( :( #oufc
— AshleyHall(@AshleyHall07) January 26, 2013

Lewis Montrose rested after feeling a tight hamstring in midweek. #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

Montrose is a big loss on a messy pitch. Could have done with him for what is likely to be a bit of a scrap. #OUFC
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) January 26, 2013

I like the formation on the road, but I'm not sure it'll be nearly as effective without Davis on the left and no ball winner. #oufc
— Olly Howells (@ollyhowells) January 26, 2013

#oufc will need to keep a close eye on Jamille Matt, who #ftfc signed for c.300k this month. 8 in 8 for Kidderminster this season. Threat.

#ftfc 0 #oufc 0 Off we go. United defending in front of a terrific away turnout in the first half.

3 Jamie Allen shoots from distance; ball goes under Brown's legs but the keeper reacts to stop the ball crossing the line #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

The thought of Wayne Brown in goal gives me butterflies. Not good butterflies. #oufc
— Conor (@csoufc) January 26, 2013

#ftfc 0 #oufc 0 Matt gets away from Raynes, but Duberry slides in to concede a corner, which Brown punches clear.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

9 Fleetwood providing the early momentum as United defend strongly. Good clearing header from Batt #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

GOAL! #ftfc 1 (Matt 10) #oufc 0 Hosts ahead with a huge slice of luck. Raynes' clearance hits the striker and flies over Brown into the net.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

Matt pressured the Oxford defence before a clearance cannoned off his leg flying into the top corner.

Good start #oufc #Sarcasm
— Benny Sykes (@_BenSykes) January 26, 2013

#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 United haven't really found a rhythm yet. A few promising positions have been let down by loose passes.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

22 30 yard shot from Paul McKenna has Brown diving to his left to parry the ball for a corner. #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

Fleetwood have a goal disallowed for a push on Jake Wright. Still 1-0 to Fleetwood. #oufc
— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) January 26, 2013

#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 The ball's not sticking up front for United, so Fleetwood are well in control.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

32 Brown comes to punch and misses - ball hits post and Raynes kicks it against Brown. It almost spins over the line. Wright clears #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

Oxford's keeper looking like a bag of nerves
— Fleetwood Town FC (@ftfc) January 26, 2013

What the duck is Brown playing at! We need to get a new one in for Tuesday! #oufc
— Mark Lambourne (@mlambourne) January 26, 2013

Fucking hell Wilder, d'you realise we need a replacement for Clarke yet? Brown's a walking howler. #oufc
— Olly Howells (@ollyhowells) January 26, 2013

Wouldn't be surprised to see us change the system at half-time to get another man in midfield. #OUFC
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) January 26, 2013

Lets go 4-4-2.. Bring off Raynes and Richards, put on Smalley and Craddock #oufc
— AshleyHall(@AshleyHall07) January 26, 2013

#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 United's away fans are doing their best to get the team going. They force three corners in quick succession but no shots yet
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Duberry hangs a high ball into the box which Davies catches. That's as close as United have come to a shot.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

Half-time: United 1-0 down to Fleetwood. The U's got better as the half went on #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

Sounds like a poor half. Can't remember hearing about a shot. Hopefully we're saving it all for the 2nd half. #OUFC
— Adam Brown (@ABrown31) January 26, 2013

Chapman stripped off and warming up. He'll be featuring in the second half #oufc
— Big Banana (@bigbananaboys) January 26, 2013

#ftfc 1 #oufc 0 Chapman on for Raynes at the break. Crowther replaces Brown for Fleetwood.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

Come on lads massive 45 minutes! #OUFC ⚽
— James Constable (@JamesConstable9) January 26, 2013

51 Chapman gets in a shot from the edge of the area. Deflected over for a corner #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

At the fleetwood game, this is proper football. League 2 > premiership. #codarmy
— Joe Branker (@joebranker) January 26, 2013

53 Barney in the Oxford penalty area after Allen fouled Wright whose clearance hits the Fleetwood player in the head. Brown is booked! #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

Fleetwood seem like a right bunch of cunts. #oufc
— Olly Howells (@ollyhowells) January 26, 2013

GOAL! #ftfc 2 (Crowther 58) #oufc 0 Batt mis-kicks as the ball sits in the mud and Crowther runs in to score.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

Two liabilities in our squad, Batt and Brown #oufc
— Mark Lambourne (@mlambourne) January 26, 2013

Two mistakes then. Fairwell solid consistency, it was fun while it lasted #oufc
— Andrew Cherrie (@acherrie1) January 26, 2013

What on Earth is that music doing when Fleetwood score? I am very anti "goal music" anyway but that is horrific! #oufc #ftfc
— Matt Everett (@matteverett) January 26, 2013

To be fair to Batt, the ball stuck under his feet on this rather poor playing surface #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

#ftfc 2 #oufc 0 Craddock on for Heslop, as United go 4-4-2 with 30 mins to go.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

66 Another change for United as Deane Smalley replaces Justin Richards #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

Fleetwood look like superb. Everyone playing for each other
— Fleetwood Town FC (@ftfc) January 26, 2013

Fleetwood have been by far the better side and deserve their two goal advantage #ftfc
— Rob Stocks (@robstocksbpl) January 26, 2013

67 Nathan Pond fouls Smalley who was getting clear and as Leven picks up the ball Jamie McGuire pushes him over. Yellow for McGuire #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

Pond also shown yellow for the foul and Smalley booked for some reason or other #oufc

@pnorth94 Sunday league ref to go with the Sunday league team #FTFC

Have #oufc had a shot today?
— Junior (@junioroufc) January 26, 2013

77 Craddock turns and shoots - deflected just wide for a corner #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

79 Great play from Potter who charges into the area but his pullback is behind Craddock and cleared #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) January 26, 2013

#OUFC Fleetwood 3-0 Ox Utd. Hopes of a comeback ended for the U's.

"@oxfordmailoufc: GOAL! #ftfc 3 (Parkin 86) #oufc 0 Game over as Parkin taps in." yet another goal from a set piece.
— James Pittaway (@JamesPitt85) January 26, 2013

FT: #ftfc 3 #oufc 0 All over here as United lose for the first time in the league for nine games.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) January 26, 2013

Great result for Oxford! 4 wins on the bounce followed by a terrible run now? Just like we had at start of season? #oufc
— Chris Hogg (@Chris_hogg) January 26, 2013

Sounds like a terrible day at the office for #oufc feel sorry for the hardcore fans, long journey home when the team have been shit
— Daniel Theobald (@Englands_urn) January 26, 2013

Hoping the good run wasn't a flash in the pan. The last thing we need is a bad run now, it would kill our season. #Oufc
— Adam Brown (@ABrown31) January 26, 2013

Changing formation 3 times in 90 minutes does not help the team #oufc
— Lewis Hallam (@Lewis_Hallam16) January 26, 2013

1 shot and 0 on target tells its own story. We've been good away from home recently, but not today. Need Beano and Montrose back. #oufc
— George Dugdale (@GeorgeDugdale) January 26, 2013

I'm expecting a reaction from #oufc on Tuesday and an over-reaction from the fans tonight.
— Oxtweeter (@oxtweeter) January 26, 2013

That was f*cking sh*t today. Not acceptable for the standards we have set ourselves at #oufc
— Michael Duberry (@Original_Dubes) January 26, 2013

The M6. In the rain. 3-0 defeat. There better be booze at the back end of this journey. Swear words. Lots of swear words. #oufc
