Plymouth Argyle 0-1 Oxford United: The Match in Tweets

Oxford finally ended their nightmare run of five winless matches after snatching a 1-0 victory away at struggling Plymouth Argyle. 311 yellows made their way down to Devon to see the run come to an end and witness James Constable overtaking Peter Foley and John Aldridge to become the club's third all-time top-scorer. At last something to feel cheerful about...

A defeat today and were in a relegation scrap, something has seriously gone wrong this year. Come on Oxford!! #oufc #yellowandbluearmy

Suddenly it feels like spring, let's hope the change brings out the best in #oufc, who have picked up just 1 point from their last 5 games.

Will be interesting to see what reaction Luke McCormick gets from the #pafc fans. He played +150 games here but this is his 1st time back.

Luke McCormick starting for Oxford against @only1argyle today. I'm sure it'll be one of the most mixed receptions ever. #pafc
— Sam Powell (@LatentHankMoody) February 16, 2013

Hate to be in luke mcormaks shoes right now, hes gonna get a load of stick from devenport today. #PAFC
— James Friend (@Jfriend95) February 16, 2013

I was happy to see Whing starting and then @bbcoxfordsport say they've made a mistake and re-do it with Chapman. #ffs #oufc
— ashley wbu? (@AshleyHall07) February 16, 2013

If Whing is fit you HAVE to play him! Potter is no massive loss going on his recent form I'd like Parker to do well on the wing! #OUFC
— Andy Wilmer (@andywilmer) February 16, 2013

1 attacking option from 6 on our bench.Yep, that's sensible sending Marsh on loan..#wilderlogic #oufc
— Junior (@junioroufc) February 16, 2013

Only six subs for #oufc. We gather Capaldi may also be ill, could be the same bug which Potter has.

#pafc 0 #oufc 0 Rigg robs Berry, but his cross is too high for Constable.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 0 Berry gives the ball away cheaply to Costable, who wins a corner. Chapman whips it in, but Cole punches away.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

Slow start from @only1argyle, oxford on top due to defensive mistakes from berry. #coyg #pafc

GOAL Parker's dummy gets the ball to Batt, His shot from distance prodded home by CONSTABLE from 6 yards. 1-0 #oufc

That's 91 goals now for Constable, making him third top scorer for United ahead of John Aldridge and Peter Foley #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Branston chops down Constable a yard outside the box. Decent position, Rigg and Chapman stand over it.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

28 Craddock touches the ball to Rigg whose shot beats the wall but is clutched by Jake Cole.Still 1-0 #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) February 16, 2013

@bbcoxfordsport can't believe you just said on air that Branston got himself into a pickle #oufc #pafc #shocking
— Andrew Brockbank (@OUFC_Brocky) February 16, 2013

#Argyle look very vulnerable. Still haven't had an attempt at goal after 29 mins. The fans are getting frustrated. #pafc
— Chris Errington (@ChrisErrington1) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Montrose's ball over the top makes it 3 on 1, but Bhasera flicks Constable's cross away with Parker & Craddock lurking.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Huge chance to make it 2-0, Constable did the right thing but superb work from Bhasera.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

37 Junior Banton's free-kick from midway in the Oxford half is prodded wide by Gozie Ugwu #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) February 16, 2013

First save for Luke McCormick in the 41st minute. Pushes away a shot from Banton and Raynes then concedes a corner. #pafc
— Chris Errington (@ChrisErrington1) February 16, 2013

40 Liam Davis bursts clear and cuts inside before laying the ball off to Chapman whose 1st time shot is over #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) February 16, 2013

Banton did really well to burst into the area and get a shot off. McCormick made a fantastic save before Raynes went so close! #pafc
— Plymouth Argyle FC (@Only1Argyle) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Montrose unlocks the defence for Constable, who drags his shot wide left-footed.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

Half-time: United deservedly lead 1-0 although in truth it's not been a great game #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) February 16, 2013

HT: Plymouth 0-1 Oxford. Never feel confident with a 1 nil lead or 2 tbh. More goals required. #OUFC #COYY
— ashley wbu? (@AshleyHall07) February 16, 2013

So far enjoying my southernmost experience of watching #oufc. Half-time, 1-0 on glorious sunshine. #COYY
— Ed Bridges (@DrEdBridges) February 16, 2013

HT Argyle 0 Oxford 1. Oxford good value for their lead: they've pressed very well and have looked dangerous going forward. #pafc #oufc
— Chris Monk (@ChrisMonk) February 16, 2013

Timmy mallet on the pitch at home park - very strange! #pafc @only1argyle
— Simon Osborne (@sioz28) February 16, 2013

Highlight of the first half at home park for me was a bloke eating a whole pack of garibaldi's #PAFC
— Nick Sargent (@Nicksargent93) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Away we go again, no changes.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

Luke McCormick gets a good welcome from the Devonport End as he runs out for the second half. He gives the fans a thumbs up. #pafc

46n Argyle with the first chance as Ugwu shoots from a narrow angle - into the side netting #oufc

Going to be a nervous second half.. #oufc
— ashley wbu? (@AshleyHall07) February 16, 2013

Great tackle from Davis stops Ugwu as he prepares to pull the trigger on the edge of the box! #pafc
— Plymouth Argyle FC (@Only1Argyle) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Awful back pass from Berry puts Craddock clean through. The striker tries to take it round Cole, who wins the battle.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

54 Constable gets onto Craddock's pass and tries to beat Cole from a narrow angle, but hits the outside of the post. Still 1-0 #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Another back pass plays in Craddock, this time from Charles. Argyle snuff out the danger quickly though.
— Oxford Mail OUFC (@OxfordMailOUFC) February 16, 2013

It is mistake after mistake from the #Argyle defence. Oxford should have had more than one goal. #pafc
— Chris Errington (@ChrisErrington1) February 16, 2013

60 With Davis on the floor Argyle knock the ball around the area and eventually win a corner. Davis now getting treatment #oufc
— Oxford United FC (@OUFClive) February 16, 2013

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Smalley on for Rigg, who has had a quiet game.

Oxford are defending deeper now. Inviting trouble. Argyle pressing forward. #pafc

— Micky Dix (@Dixxyyyyy) February 16, 2013

We've been given a goal after the ball went over the top of the net and into the goal #pafc #oufc yessssss ♥

#pafc 0 #oufc 1 Bizarre as United are briefly awarded a second goal, before the officials come to their senses and realise the ball went out

Have to love positive officials NOT #oufc

@only1argyle fans calling for Timmy Mallett to be brought on. He can't be any worse than the muppets on the pitch #pafc

When I stop getting nervous in the closing minutes of #oufc matches it will be time to stop going!

#COYY!!! See if we can keep these 3 points for the last couple of minutes! #oufc

A good away win for #oufc. Hopefully looking up the table now rather than down. We'll most likely end in mid-table obscurity. #inconsistent
