Today’s team

Glad Toffolo is back in, Garratt looked lost against MK. Houghton makes a big difference in that midfield and pleasing to have May and even Longbottom back fit on the bench!

[Donnybax]

I like that team. Sneaky feeling we are going to win today

[IDM]

Quiet game??

[Metalmicky]

From BBC it looks like we're under the cosh..

[RoversAlias]

Twitter agrees with that.

[CottyRover]

Doesn't sound like we're doing too bad, if not up to the standard of the Scunthorpe game.

[Peebles Rover]

 Not really under the cosh but Oxford have had more possession last 10 mins

[Peebles Rover]

We're pressing quite well

[RoversAlias]

Rowe and Coppinger have both had headers at goal the last couple of minutes.

And Marquis now.

[dknward2]

36' Rowe is fouled just outside the area, Tiendalli is booked 0-0 #DRFC

[Peebles Rover]

Looked like they should have had a penno then

[dknward2]

38' YELLOW to Mousinho for a foul on Marquis as Doncaster try to break free from United pressure.  United unhappy after the previous penalty appeal. #OUFC 0-0 #DRFC

[Donny Dub]

Refs getting a lot of abuse from Oxford.  He’s booked two of theirs now.  Marquis is winding them up. 

[IDM]

Not sure how much the press association feeds that go on the BBC site can be trusted - the Oxford twitter feed refers to at least 2 more headers by us that were saved, yet aren't on the other stats..

[CottyRover]

Looked like they should have had a penno then

Commentators on i-follow didn't seem to think so

[Donny Dub]

Marquis got a stern warning then for his antics.  We’re holding our own here, defending well, winning possession but not offering much up front.  Half time.

[CottyRover]

Seems the plan is to frustrate them. Crowd sound to be getting agitated. Alfie May to come on second half?

[CottyRover]

No line up changes so far

[glosterred]

Today's attendance: 6,711 (462 from Doncaster). #OUFC 0-0 #DRFC


Good away attendance today


COYR

[RoversAlias]

We've had a couple of chances this half already, more than holding our own in this one now.

[dknward2]

can see may or mandy coming on in next ten minutes start running

[CottyRover]

That was close!

[glosterred]

Bugger

58' Close for Doncaster. Tommy Rowe fires in a shot through a crowd that hits the inside of Eastwood's left-hand post and sneaks along the line before United clear. #OUFC 0-0 #DRFC


57' Tommy Rowe is so close to the opening goal. He forces his way into the area and places a shot which bounces back off the inside of the far post and rolls all the way back across goal to safety 0-0 #DRFC

COYR

[Peebles Rover]

How did that not go in

[Peebles Rover]

Brilliant skill from Rowe

[i_ateallthepies]

May on for Beestin.

[Donny Dub]

We’ve had two great chances cleared off the line.  Needs Alfie to run at them in their box. They’ vulnerable to a decent attack.

[dknward2]

Hope he can make the impact needed
