Reading the Oxford forum it seems he's been played out wide and as a  no.10. Injury prone, inconsistent but technically gifted and very good on his day seems the general consensus. We shall see.

Welcome to Rovers. 

Hopefully they're wrong. We already have an inconsistent, injury prone centre mid called Evans. Good luck Joe!

It was a typical Mowbray change for me. Far too often he moves several players around to accommodate his change when a like for like will do. And he does seem to have an obsession with getting Conway

Was chuffed to bits when he got man of the match. Fully deserved and will be a huge confidence boost to the lad.

Where did you see him? He played at Ewood last game of the season but I don't remember him

What kind of midfielder is he? I know very little, other than highly rated (which it said in the article ?)

A guy I used to share an apartment with was a man utd lunatic supporter who had the United channel and watched every game, of every age group. I remember Rothwell looking a serious player on a few occasions, really good. He is an athletic player with great technique. I think injuries have held him back and he hasn't even played as well as he can for Oxford. He is a bit of a gamble, but if he gets going here, he could be a seriously shrewd acquisition. United actually wanted to keep him

Cant say i've seen enough of him, maybe slightly underwhelming but i'll wait and see, at least with him, Smallwood, Evans, Whittingham and Bennett we look fine in the middle.

Looking online at Oxford fans reactions, themes such as injury prone, inconsistent, unable to nail down a place, unsure on his best position and replacable are slightly worrying signs.

That said, he is apparently technically good, can travel with the ball and is obviously young so I will wait and see.

2 starting wingers and Armstrong please.

I think the Armstrong ship has sailed. I never thought we could afford him and nothing suggests otherwise. We need Chapman in and the equivalent on the other side and a nippy striker that knows where the net is. They are necessities. Any improvements or squad depth after that is welcome but the above has to be priority. Shame about Armstrong he would be ideal.

Found this on him. 

Thanks! Sounds like a Mowbray player. Young, mobile, athletic, unfullfilled promis with potential to play become a Championship player. Not very different from Dack last year. Also different from what we have in midfield with the ability to travel with the ball. If he turned down a contract at Man Utd to carve out a career at Oxford, he seems to have character. Certainly worth a punt.

wasn't it not Pete O'Rourke who said we were after Rothwell last January?
