Oxford v TLOD

[glosterred]

Tonight’s team


COYR

[Filo]

Not confident at all tonight, injuries are taking their toll, bench looks weak

[roversdude]

James injured as well then

[Southboy]

Not much that's tried and tested on the bench... not hopeful

[Bailey Vickerage]

Not confident tonight but on a positive not when was the last time we had 3 homegrown players in the starting 11 for a league game??

[drfchound]

Hopefully AJG can take advantage of his opportunity.

[DonnyOsmond]

Is that the most products of our youth team starting a league game together in years?

[RoversAlias]

Happy that we have a few academy graduates in the team but I must admit, I look at that line-up and then look at Oxford's and think we may be in for a very long night.

Hope whatever is keeping James out is not serious, we can't cope without him or Bostock (or Robertson!) for long. I shudder to think what our midfield would be like without Smith tonight.

[Rovers91]

Wonder if James was one of them Butler was referring to where they have flagged up as exceeded and may need a rest.
Bench is weak tonight but hopefully come Saturday we have Bostock, Bogle, Robertson and James back in if hes not injured.
Think we will need Greaves energy tonight as it was flat on Saturday in midfield.

[bpoolrover]

Big chance for greaves tonight maybe the bit of bite in midfield we need

[adamtherover]

I've ordered ifollow, don't know why, not sure the last time I saw a good away performance? Or result.  You never know?

[dknward2]

Won an iFollow pass for tonight via the efl rewards app so will be sitting down shortly to watch it hopefully we can do a smash and grab job on Oxford tonight and come away with the 3 points.

Tbh I’d take a draw right now

[swain_drfc]

Wow this could be a long night. I really hope I am eating my words at full time though.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Must admit, I'm not going to risk a blood clot watching this tonight.

Just hope the Players have taken their Oxford inoculation!

[EasyforDennis]

Confident we can get a result tonight. That could change in 15 minutes tho. 

[Barmby Rover]

Great to see AJ being given a start, but it does show that we are struggling to get players through two games a week, for weeks on end. Hopefully youthful exuberance and energy will liven up our midfield. Go AJ!!! RTID!

[drfchound]

Why did the co commentator say we are playing three games a week, week after week after week.
Ridiculous.

[Barmby Rover]

Will Oxford be more open than Northampton were? Almost certainly, can we take advantage? Let's hope so.

[Barmby Rover]

Bright start. COYR!!!

[drfchound]

Hate that fake crowd noise.

[swain_drfc]

Richards has to release the ball quicker. Holds on to it far to long sometimes

[drfchound]

That’s twice in the first few minutes we have given Oxford a chance to score through prattling about at the back.

[NickDRFC]

Started brightly but Jones almost gifted them a goal there. His passing has been good since he came into the side but he can’t get complacent.

We seem to have plenty of space and time on the ball, let’s hope we can take advantage!

[Superspy]

We look pretty lively tonight going forward

[swain_drfc]

Amos and Jones both with major  f**k ups. Thankfully nothing coming from it.

[jmt23]

a good balance to the team tonight, but they are allowing us to have the ball - and waiting for it to pounce

[bobjimwilly]

end to end stuff at the minute.

[EasyforDennis]

Amos and Jones both with major  f**k ups. Thankfully nothing coming from it.

Add Wright and Halliday to that.

[swain_drfc]

The Oxford commentary team are more entertaining than most opposition this season.

[DonnyOsmond]

1-0 Oxford
