Today’s Team
COYR
-
Good to see Ennis and Wright back..
-
Bench looking a lot stronger
-
Hard test today, could have done with Ennis and John fighting fit but we'll have to go with what we've got!
-
Good to see Ennis back in the squad. Also glad to see after his performance at Rotherham that AJ keeps his place in the squad as the home grown player as well.
-
Yes, relieved to see Ennis on the bench.
Will be interesting to see how we play around Thomas but more importantly, can we convert our chances.
-
How we doing so far?
-
18' Dieng holds a shot from Mackie which is straight at him from a free-kick, then Mackie heads over from another deep cross. #DRFC #OXFDON 0-0
As shown on Sky’s soccer Saturday
COYR
-
All Oxford
-
19' A vital interception to head away a Coppinger cross with Kwame Thomas lurking at the far post. #DRFC #OXFDON 0-0
Not all one way traffic
COYR
-
4 shots to Oxford 1 on target 2 off target 1 blocked Rovers No shots.
-
Marquis keeping the bench warm today.
-
Jamie Mackie seems like a one man strike force.
-
come on lads, some goals needed today :scarf:
-
Marquis off to local A/E dept. splinter in his arse !!
-
Started to get back into it and Oxford have had 2 'injuries' to slow us down.
Need to step it up if we want owt today now Taylor booked
-
25' Rovers break quickly down the left with Reece James feeding a ball through which is just too far ahead of Jon Taylor. #DRFC #OXFDON 0-0
COYR
-
DFP says Oxford are doing a good job on us by stopping us playing out closing Sheaf and Whiteman down quickly then getting early crosses into the box.
-
From John Coyles twitter feed
Paul Mayfield tells me that he and others bumped into Sir Francis Tierney at Warwick Services. He was driving his lorry to Hamburg. If that isn't a good omen for today, I don't know what is! #DRFC
COYR
-
All Oxford again just nothing up front for us at the minute
-
Sky Sports saying bit of a stop start game but Oxford going closer.
-
Living dangerously at the back again.
-
35' Rovers enjoy a good period of play with dangerous crosses from Brad Halliday and Reece James from either flank. Thomas cannot get his header on target under pressure. #DRFC #OXFDON 0-0
COYR
-
Oxford hit the post.
-
35 minutes gone and 0-0 in every game except Southend 1-2 AFC Wimbledon
-
Good morning everyone! We need a win today however ugly it is won.
-
Rochdale now 1-0 up
-
We’re not going to win if we don’t shoot!
-
Are we getting into shooting positions Alan.?
-
1-0 to oxford
-
bugger
-
Always stoppage time recently!
-
What is it with Oxford and us and injury time goals?
-
Henry , he does like a goal against us.
-
I would be getting Ennis on at half time
-
45 + 1 from a free-kick after we missed from a free-kick one min earlier
-
45+1' Oxford go ahead just after the fourth official indicates six minutes of time added on, with James Henry trying a shot from distance which gives Dieng no chance. #DRFC #OXFDON 1-0
COYR
-
Free shot at goal. Not sure who the player was closest to him but there was a serious lack of effort to close down
-
45+1' Oxford go ahead just after the fourth official indicates six minutes of time added on, with James Henry trying a shot from distance which gives Dieng no chance. #DRFC #OXFDON 1-0
COYR
Can see from Sky replay that it took a deflection, wrong footing Dieng
-
What is it with Oxford and us and injury time goals?
They do score a lot of goals in injury time against us, but so do every other club it seems at the minute.
-
45 + 1 from a free-kick after we missed from a free-kick one min earlier
It wasn't a free kick it was from open play, shot from about 20 yards deflected past Dieng.
-
Was only a matter of time they are far better side Moore really needs to sort it out
Deflection off Daniels not impressed with him glad wright is back
-

COYR
Deflected by the look of it....
-
We've been very poor.
Just can't see where the goals are coming from.
-
Half time.
-
Plenty to do in the second half,
COYR
-
Not a single shot on target, are we relying on a high ball into the box? Poor play without co-ordination. Rovers need to get organised and produce some pressure.
-
not looking good unless we can change it round
-
No wonder DM says we need improve our attacking qualities. Let’s hope we improve second half and Ennis gets on the pitch.
Good start second half 2. 0 now
-
2 nil
-
That’s that
-
This is disappointing
-
Poor goal to concede, defence stood around looking at each other.
-
That’s that
You may prove to be right, in this game, where it sounds like we have been second best..
But it does piss me off when folks think 2-0 means game over with most of the second half to play..
-
47' Rovers start brightly but the home side make it 2-0 with their first attack as Cameron Brannagan fires home. #DRFC #OXFDON 2-0
Crap defending
COYR
-
We don't need to worry about the 0lay offs this year. And people said we didn't need a striker.
-
Game over , no strikers today - look at the shots on target it's disgraceful.
NEEDS SORTING FAST
-
50' Smart play down the right from Sadlier as he feeds Coppinger, his shot is blocked. #DRFC #OXFDON 2-0
51' Rovers are so close to getting one back, as Thomas looks to turn home James' great cross. Only a fantastic interception by Mousinho to turn the ball over denies Thomas his first Rovers goal. #DRFC #OXFDON 2-0
They’re trying
COYR
-
Very poor show don't look like scoring.def second best at the moment.
-
Oh, Dear, the wheels have truly fallen off our wagon.
-
Exactly forget the Play Offs this season.
We don't need to worry about the 0lay offs this year. And people said we didn't need a striker.
-
Game over
-
Please could posters actually say if they are at the game.?
Are we creating anything which a striker could take advantage of, if not, there’s no point bemoaning the lack of a striker - especially when there is one on the pitch.!
-
Fook me the doom mongers are out quickly today
BACK YOUR TEAM
COYR
-
Usual case of some folk losing their heads and blaming everything on the lack of a, striker. Too easy and too quick to criticise!
-
That’s that
You may prove to be right, in this game, where it sounds like we have been second best..

It isn't the two goals alone, it is that and the way Rovers are attacking (or not as the case may be)
-

You mean the striker a non league team got rid of who has scored 7 goals his entire career? Prince Moncirieffe would have been a better addition.
-
We don't need to worry about the 0lay offs this year. And people said we didn't need a striker.
Ennis, Sterling, Thomas..
Not saying they are the answer, but we have strikers.
Is the season going to be over after 11 games.??
-
I feel bad for those that have travelled today, nothing worse than getting beat away and not even playing well.
-
Yes we need a striker but he needs service we 26 shots last week and couldn't score this week we have had next to none so sounds like we need at least 50 shots to score.
2 nil down and nothing really positive that's why people are getting pissed off

I’m not at the game - are we just playing badly or are oxford playing such that we can’t get going.?

And have scored how many between them?
None of them are the answers, and the proof is there.

ATTENDANCE | There are 491 #DRFC fans at the Kassam Stadium as part of an official crowd of 6,861. #DRFC #OXFDON 1-0
That’s 2-0 obviously

Strange, the commentators keep saying we keep giving the ball away. Not something we have been guilty of this season.

I never said they were the answer, just saying we have got strikers, three of them..
Folks, it’s not the end of the world if we have a disappointing game and lose against a team in form..
-
COYR plenty of time left, build the pressure create chance and get the first one
-
Season isn’t over but this match is and the omens are not good given the attacking stats

Ennis on for Thomas

Ennis on least he gets a run out

64' A first change for Rovers, with Niall Ennis coming on to replace Kwame Thomas. #DRFC #OXFDON 2-0

No it isn’t. I am not saying we will or can get back into this one, but I hope the players have more belief that they could, than some of our fans.!!

Im fairness the dealings by mccann has resulted in that. It's the inability to get a deal for strikers over the line when we had 2 x supposed players with better goal records that JM lined up
Now we have a team of mainly youth teamers doing their best
-
68' Halliday wins the ball back on the edge of the area, Ennis fires just wide. #DRFC #OXFDON 2-0
COYR
-
70' A free-kick just outside the area after Coppinger is fouled, Sadlier goes for goal but it is deflected over. #DRFC #OXFDON 2-0
Still trying

Rovers 100/1 against winning with Skybet now.

Lack of concentration a couple of minutes either side of HT , looks like it's going to cost us.
-
3-0
-
Three now
-
Yeah IDM we can still win that's the spirit, oh wait 3 nil.
-
77' Tom Anderson is judged to have handballed in the area. James Henry steps up to place it into the bottom right corner. #DRFC #OXFDON 3-0
COYR
-
Now that really does make a comeback difficult..
-
People need to lower their expectations. Moore is doing his best with the budget he has been given.
-
Dubious penalty.we had started to improve since Ennis brought on.
-
Yeah IDM we can still win that's the spirit, oh wait 3 nil.
Not from 3 down, no..
It still f**ks me off no end when folks say game over at 2-0, even if subsequently we do lose the game..
-
Well, that's our plus goal difference wiped out.
-
Looking at the positives we write today off but we're only 4 points off the playoffs having played most of the 'difficult' teams.
-

Oh for f**ks sake, the budget now.??
-
I’m watching game mate that’s why I can say that’s that as I can see we are not good enough today
That’s that
-
Penalty all day long. Put his arm out wide to stop it. Shame really as we’d done well last 15 minutes
-
Can we have an "Unlucky Pint" where those that see the glass half empty post?
-
Looking at the positives we write today off but we're only 4 points off the playoffs having played most of the 'difficult' teams.
Indeed, and with a game in hand..
We do need to get firing up front on all cylinders..
-
Shots on target at 80 minutes 0. The story of this game. Rovers will have to rethink strategy after this one, by the sounds of it we have been too pedestrian moving forward, we have a young team, and quite a fast one, we need to start using that asset.
-
It’s a shame as it sounded like we’d started to make inroads. Onwards and upwards!

I’ll check back at 90 mins and see who’s eating humble pie. I hope it’s me

Fingers crossed we will make the most of the opportunity.

We do seem to be catching teams when they are in form tbh
-
Thing is it's not all about a striker is it, although it's a major problem, we haven't replaced the players we have lost. Glaringly obvious we are paper thin & it's beginning to show. A season of mediocrity beckons & dare I say the start of a dip in attendances. No worries though we are still 6 points or so off the drop.

I’m still optimistic but we don’t have a game in hand, that’s rubbish. The only sides we have a game in hand on who are in the play-offs (or above) are Bristol Rovers and Peterborough, both of whom are 5 points ahead of us anyway, and Wycombe (7 points). This run of form hasn’t exactly put us out of the reckoning but it has left us with plenty of work to do to get back into it.
-
The talk about needing a striker is bollox, 5 clean sheets in 6 by Oxford, they don’t concede many who ever plays them.
Full time 3-0, not our day today
Onwards and upwards

It’s never game over at 2-0 two minute into the second half.. ever..
If the players thought like that then they have no place in the pitch.
That was my point, not that we would turn this particular game round..

Looking at the stats we were awful today only 7 shots and no one on target. We were 2nd best in every department. 3 loses in a row now, need a win and soon before a losing mentality sets in.

We are in 11th place and 5 of the teams above us have played more games.. so we have a game in hand in half of them..

The team isn't that different, minus Ennis, to when we battered Peterbrough, what's changed? Was it just that Peterbrough completely cocked up their tactics? (Fergie style)

No playground glosterred, just hate constant negativity....

Thought Thomas tried but seemed very average.maybe one of the youngsters could be given a run out. :suicide:

I'm sure if Moore thought any of the youngsters were any good he wouldn't have felt he needed to sign a non-league striker as cover.

It’s a simple point really..
Just as it wouldn’t be over at 8-0 down either, it was just how I felt given the lack of shots. Simple maths really

We are in 11th place and 5 of the teams above us have played more games.. so we have a game in hand in half of them..
The poster referenced the play offs, and you said we had a game in hand as well. As far as the play offs are concerned, our game in hand doesn’t put us in them. Not really important if we have a game in hand over the teams in 10th or 11th when we’re after the top 6.
-
I didn’t make reference to the play off positions at all, just the teams above..
Winning the game in hand or being given the points for the Bolton game puts us higher up the table and the perspective looks better.
That’s the point, nowt to do with the play offs.

Bad day at the office. It happens. The bigger picture - it’s coming together.
