Duberry forced off with a strained hamstring, Leven was unwell. Unclear at this stage whether they'll be out for Saturday. #oufc

Wilder: "It was a disappointing goal to concede, but (the performance) was a lot better than Saturday."

Can't remember interviewing someone quite as pumped up as Max Crocombe. His adrenalin-fuelled quotes will be in tomorrow's @TheOxfordMail

FT: #oufc 1 #bafc 1 All over here, United were unable to find a late winner.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
9:33pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 1 We're into the final two mins of the 90. Smalley wins a corner, but nothing comes of it.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
9:25pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 1 Smalley on for Craddock, ten mins left.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
9:21pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 1 Good chance as Batt's cross falls to Craddock, who blazes over from 12 yards.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
9:14pm
GOAL! #oufc 1 #bafc 1 (Maghoma 70) Burton level through a neat finish from Maghoma.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
9:09pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 0 Chapman has a corner cleared back to him. He knocks a good second ball across, which Raynes flicks wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
9:05pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 0 Burton top scorer Calvin Zola comes off, replaced by Billy Kee.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
9:04pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 0 United knocking it round with much more confidence now as gaps start to appear. Potter has a run and shot, which is saved.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:59pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 0 O'Connor gets booked for bringing down Rigg.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:57pm
#oufc 1 #bafc 0 That's 10 for the season for Constable, two behind Craddock.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:54pm
GOAl! #oufc 1 (Constable 50) #bafc 0 United have the breakthrough, Constable heading in Capaldi's corner.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:49pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 The second half is up and running. Change for United, Capaldi for Leven.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:34pm
HT: #oufc 0 #bafc 0 Not the greatest of halves, that. Batt had the best chance, while at the other end Crocombe has done OK.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:32pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Batt gives the ball away cheaply and Maghoma almost punishes him with a fierce low shot which flies just wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:24pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Rigg crosses for Craddock, who spins and his square ball is deflected just wide of the post. Better from United.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:21pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 From the corner Raynes heads over. Good chance.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:20pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Best moment of the match at Chapman picks out Batt, whose improvised shot is superbly tipped over.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:16pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Coming up to the half hour mark, no real chances at either end yet.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:11pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Big cheer as Crocombe comes to catch a Bell fk, first real action of the night for the teenager, neatly done.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:08pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Duberry has an injury, not sure how that happened. Raynes replaces him.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
8:06pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Rigg has the measure of McCrory, he goes past him but his cross is too close to Tomlinson, who gathers.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:59pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Duberry penalised for a clash with Zola. Sharps smashes the fk over the bar. No rhythm to this game yet.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:55pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Batt has a sighter from 30 yards, drilled wide. Not a bad tactic on a greasy surface.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:52pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Crocombe's every touch being cheered at the moment. Three kicks so far, bit edgy but no drama.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:47pm
#oufc 0 #bafc 0 Away we go, United attacking the car park end.

Not too many home fans either, maybe they're catching a cheeky late Bovril before kick-off. #oufc http://t.co/0v740Xmg
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:40pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Very sparse! Not much noise coming out of that little lot!
— @Garethmtb 29 January 2013

It's only 100 miles from Burton to #oufc, but not many have made it so far... http://t.co/h2jIQPNX

7:34pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Listening all the way from Sydney.....COME ON YOU YELLOWS!
— @Rafadamon 29 January 2013
7:30pm
Postponements here mean #oufc have played just 12 home games in L2 so far, the lowest in the division. Still 11 chances for home fans.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:27pm
Burton also have one of the best power names in football playing at centre half: Zander Diamond. Anyone think of better?
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:27pm
Got to feel for @Meeiix a bit, the conditions are horrendous for his debut! @OxfordMailOUFC #oufc
— @Andy_Hawkes 29 January 2013

7:25pm
We feel for you, Mark. Hopefully #oufc can cheer you up this evening.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:25pm
One change for Burton from Saturday's 1-0 win over Barnet, Paterson in for Kee. Zola and Maghoma both notched doubles vs #oufc in Sept.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:25pm
Burton XI v #oufc: Tomlinson, O'Connor, Diamond, Sharps, McCrory, Drury, Bell, Weir, Maghoma, Paterson, Zola

The wind is swirling now and carrying some rain. Not the most pleasant of evenings out there, but at least it's mild. #oufc

@OxfordMailOUFC cant make the game 2nite had a knee operation yesterday wish the lads the best of luck especially max crocombe
— @markydavidb 29 January 2013
7:21pm
Then there's #oufc's home form. Just one defeat in their last 8 here in the league. Not too shabby and a win would take them 10th tonight.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:21pm
@OxfordMailOUFC looks a mess. End of season can't come soon enough it seems
— @bo_stu 29 January 2013
7:20pm
Burton bashed #oufc 4-0 in September, but they are poor on their travels in L2. Only Plymouth have a worse record than P14 W3 D3 L8.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:17pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 3-1 #coyy 18-1 chappers to score first 17-1. done.
— @OUFCAddict 29 January 2013
7:17pm
@OxfordMailOUFC lovely conditions to give a 19 year old keeper his debut. But positive move from CW. Needed to be done.
— @DeadlyTheRoadie 29 January 2013
7:17pm
@OxfordMailOUFC having to work late so missing the game. Good to see youth given chance, I'm sure @Original_Dubes will look after him! #COYY

Both sides are out for their warm-ups. There's a stiff breeze blowing towards the Oxford Mail Stand, so keep it in the floor, gents. #oufc

@OxfordMailOUFC 2-1 to Oxford! #coyy

@OxfordMailOUFC got a good feeling about tonight good to have beano back also happy to see crocombe get a start coyy !
— @Matty_Thrasher 29 January 2013
7:16pm
Anyone looking for some pre-match positives? We've got plenty for #oufc, starting with 21-goal duo Craddock and Constable reuniting up front
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:10pm
@OxfordMailOUFC 2-1 Yellows like to see beano score ! #OUFC
— @MattDodd9 29 January 2013
7:10pm
@OxfordMailOUFC great to see Max being given an opportunity. Now make that place yours for the next 20 years Max!
— @DeadlyTheRoadie 29 January 2013
7:09pm
Clearly Montrose has not quite recovered from a hamstring injury. Chapman preferred to Heslop in the middle with Leven. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
7:09pm
@OxfordMailOUFC gutted on a work placement in Nottingham so have given my season ticket to a mate. Text and twitter updates for me #coyy
— @LaurenceHook 29 January 2013
7:09pm
@OxfordMailOUFC a bit nervous without someone to tackle in the midfield but, if we can get hold of the ball we'll be alright.
— @oxfordyellows 29 January 2013
7:04pm
@OxfordMailOUFC nice to see he is brave occasionally, good positive changes
— @Englands_urn 29 January 2013
7:04pm
Good to see Crocombe get such a warm reception on here, I'm sure that will be reflected among the #oufc fans here tonight.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013

@OxfordMailOUFC great changes, can't be any worse after all.

@OxfordMailOUFC Brave but the correct line up.
— @tom_rogers8 29 January 2013
7:00pm
We make that five changes to the XI from Saturday. Crocombe, O'Brien, Chapman, Constable and Craddock all start for #oufc. Thoughts?

@OxfordMailOUFC Loving that line up! Feeling confident!

@OxfordMailOUFC 4-4-2, no funny business. That's what I like to see. Also great to see @Meeiix given his debut in goal! Best of luck! #OUFC

#oufc starting XI: Crocombe, Batt, Duberry, Wright, O'Brien, Potter, Chapman, Leven, Rigg, Constable, Craddock
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013
6:57pm
@OxfordMailOUFC Good move. No point having a youth set up unless you use it
— @petechilton 29 January 2013
6:56pm
Max Crocombe starts in goal for #oufc tonight. Senior debut.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 29 January 2013

Good evening everyone and welcome to a blustery Kassam Stadium.
Big game for Oxford United tonight as they attempt to shrug off Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Fleetwood Town.
