An attacking line up, let’s hope it’s not a repeat of Millwall where we lacked defensive cover out wide.

It's a funny one, isn't it?

I lament how crap Dolan and Hedges are, but they give us a lot of defensive solidity and, weirdly, that's worked really well for us this season.

As you say I hope it's not a repeat of the Millwall game.

[RevidgeBlue]

Much better starting line up than against Portsmouth.

Let's go!

Yeah good line up. He had to start both Gueye and ACD after their impacts off the bench.

Young Dunny is on the bench.

To me, of all the youngsters coming through (Tyjon, Atchison, Litherland, michalski, Higgins), he seems to be the one who has made the most progress , even just over the last few months. 

Going to be some player for years to come. I can hear the Blackburn End now ...

"Isaac Dunn is blue and white , blue and white , ...

Yeh seems odd to me to have him, Forshaw and O'Grady Macken on the bench. Don't they all play basically the same position? But only one CB and only JRC (who can also play CM) who can play another defensive position. We had 3 CBs on the bench in the cup (overkill in the opposite direction). Litherland injured?

[WacoRover]

Let’s go…

I am ready to see if we have any momentum from M’Bro & Pompey. 

[Exiled_Rover]

That Huddersfield signing straight into the starting line up for Oxford. Must be nice.

Not imposing ourselves at all so far. Will have to play better than this.

[moerpho]

Pears with a great save

[ItsRoverZ]

Oxford looking pretty good so far, rovers slow and not in it yet.

He could have caught that ....I wouldn't say it was great save ..

[superniko]

We’re playing with 10 with Buckley on the pitch 

[norwichblue]

Ffs

[superniko]

Pears getting away with that. Horrendous 

[booth]

A let off there, offside goal for Oxford. We've started off like a practice game.

[bluebruce]

Cantwell lucky the offside flag went up there, needs to pick a different area of the pitch if he's going to fuck around with the ball like that. He nearly got caught in a similar position a minute earlier.

[Ricky]

Cantwell fucking about and losing the ball in a dangerous place. 

[yankfan]

Playing with fire here. 

[doctorryan]

The call's tight but right.

[CambridgeRover]

Marginal offside, another pears mess up but luckily not punished

[Exiled_Rover]

Oxford are running their socks off at the moment, let's hope they can't keep this level of press up. 

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Got away with that, not offside and a shit save by Pears
