[K-Hod]

Phew. Job done, it wasn't pretty, but by God did we need that!

[patrickvalery]

Conway bought it. That's because he's about the only one in our ranks with any savvy.

[OJRovers]

Nothing to fear in the next round with a result like that

[Stuart]

Phew

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Why send off the keeper in injury time- harsh - yellow would have sufficed. Crap ref

Second half we were a lot better. Deserved it in the end I think.

[mustard]

Why harsh? Nailed on red in the first or last minute.

Conway going away from goal. Does he really stop a GS opportunity? Whistle about to go. I don't know.

[EWOODACE1]

Well. Awful first half. A lot better 2nd. Still not a good standard but better than we played first 45.

Overall. We are pants

[AdamRochina]

A win is a win bur first half awful

Some players are way above there level here and need to be cut loose...I really don't want is to sell Rhodes

[jim mk2]

So Oxford away it is. I'm up for that one......52 years of hurt etc etc

[Spankus Munky]

Both were sending offs, pal.

You're wrong, but you're welcome to an opinion...

Drama queen

[Baz]

Oxford will be scared to death after that performance.

[danger19_80]

Or two leagues above the opposition.

Down to 10 men for 80mins, completely comfortable second half bar one cross.

FA Cup away fixtures are notoriously difficult no matter what level it is. If you were expecting us to turn up and do them over you know less about football than you were claiming earlier in this thread.

Awful decision by the keeper IMO. Gave the ref no choice at all. Deserved to go.

[Tom]

Would anyone have not taken a scrappy battling win pre game?

Perfect tonic after a run a bad form, game looked to be heading away from us till we stepped up

[perthblue02]

Easy , just toying with them oh look Wedi'r egwyl on next on s4c might stay up for that

Just seen the pic bbc sport have tweeted with Rhodes celebration, sucking his thumb anybody know what that is about?

[RevidgeBlue]

No red for me im afraid, Conways was going away from goal. 2 terrible decisions from the ref

Eh? Blatant red!

As for Brown's I can't think of many ref's who wouldn't have red carded him these days. The rule is that you see red if you are reckless or your body is out of control. I'm sure he didn't intend to hurt the other player but his studs were up and it was a very poor, nasty challenge.

As the poster above said., 2 nailed on reds.

[watford-rover]

hats off to rovers for that second half performance, no idea how many hairdryers were thrown around at half time by lambert but it worked. that was a professional performance and we were good value to get the win based on that half. Still not seeing anything special from lawrence

Anyone know when the tickets for the next round on sale?

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

Watched Oxford's game against Swansea and they were really impressive.

We're gonna have to sort ourselves out before that game.

[chor808]

Good effort second half they must have had a rocket up them. Passed it about and looked decent. Got to keep it up every match.

It was an obvious red card and unbelievably stupid. Virtually no time to equalise and makes a stupid challenge like that to get suspended. Can't believe the Newport fans were clapping him. If I was in charge there he would never play for the club again.

[grizfoot]

Much more like it that second half. Still plenty of areas for improvement but hopefully the win will give us a confidence boost. Great to see Rhodes back on the scoresheet, it was only a matter of time.

[cesus]

Professional second half after a stinking first! Thought Hanley had an excellent game.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Yeah....bet Oxford are papping themselves!

Forget Brown's as thats opinion, my opinion Foul - yes, Yellow - yes, Red - never

as for the Keeper the rules are clear, he never broke a rule that results in a red, so it's never a red.
