The 2012-13 campaign saw Oxford United establish themselves as a solid mid-table side, securing a respectable 9th-place finish in League Two after a season that alternated between dazzling runs and frustrating slumps under manager Chris Wilder. Leading the league scoring for The Us were the duo of Tom Craddock, who famously scored four goals against Accrington Stanley, and Alfie Potter, who both notched 10 crucial goals in a year built on flashes of brilliance and the enduring belief of the Kassam Stadium faithful.
