Them Blues 💙

Get in!Superb result. Brilliant first half performance, clinical and defended well 2nd half. Happy there’s nothing riding on next weekend now. Big task, getting O’Neil signed up long term now, he’s worked wonders with this squad. Give him what he wants to build this squad #Rovers

@SimonJohnFish Go and beat Sheff Utd Wednesday night and we’ll be safe. Although I can’t see Oxford picking up 5 points from their last 3 in all honesty but I’d rather not be relying on other teams loosing 😂

So #Rovers fans, as things stand after the weekend, what do we need from the final two games to be safe? Who knows, we might already have enough. Thoughts? I’m thinking Leicester are gone. If we get a point, is that enough?

32% possession. 0 shots. Just pathetic and laughable really. We’ve made no attempt to do anything in that first half other than defend, and we’ve done that dreadfully. Gifted them 2 goals.

@Rovers Set of spineless cunts the lot of them. No desire of passion out on that pitch at all. No pride to play for the badge. All of them just picking their wages up without giving a toss about the club. In any other job Gestede would have been potted long ago the clown. Going down

⏱️ Full-time: 🐂 #oufc 1-0 #Rovers 🌹 #OXFvROV 🔵⚪️

Gotta change it at half time. 4-4-2. Get Scotty Wharton on with Carter at least he will play for the badge. Ohashi on with Jorgensen up top and get fucking De Neve off and Dapo on. Going down with a whimper here. #Rovers

Wow. This is fucking dreadful. We look like we’ve just pulled 11 blokes off the car park and given them blue and white shirts. Fucking pathetic the lot of them.

@BeSc1988 @Monty5493 He’s a striker. His job is to put the ball in the net. How many big chances has he missed this season? Running his socks off doesn’t put the ball in the net for us. When you create very little like Rovers, you need to put the few chances you get in the back of the net

@Monty5493 That’s not fair at all. Runs his socks off every game, top goal scorer for the team. There’s plenty of others that could take the blame for our position other than him. And at least he gives a toss

Wank all season. One of the reasons why rovers are down where they’re. Forwards who are fucking bobbins. Especially this fella. Utter garbage

@johnlmio @Monty5493 Work rate doesn’t win you matches, being clinical does. The amount of chances he misses for a supposed striker is horrendous. There’s no excuses for not hitting the target with that. The fact he’s our top scorer should probably tell you all you need to know about how poor we are

@Monty5493 what are you on about mate he’s our top goal scorer im pretty sure he’s one of our best players and his work rate is 100/10 u sure u watch rovers?.

@ThaEuropeanLad Red Card? Never seen a fucking Red 😂😂 class tackle took the ball cleanly

This tackle was absolutely insane!? Tell me he got a red for this someone?! 😲

Getting exactly what we deserve; we’ve been fucking pathetic this 2nd half. Sat back, barely got out of our own half and haven’t strung 5 passes together. Fucking garbage

And that’s what happens when you miss chance after chance, you get punished. Rovers could have had 3 goals before that Derby goal but we’re just so wasteful in front of goal.

Decent half from Rovers. Plenty of the ball, slightly lacking that killer ball in the final third, but probably deserve our 1-0 lead. Hopefully Derby having to come at us 2nd half will leave gaps for us to exploit on the counter. Big 45 minutes ahead 🔵 ⚪️

@bav_aled Definitely seen enough in the last 3 games to suggest we can drag ourselves clear of trouble to safety. Hopefully we can take a few more of the chances that come our way though

@StuSmith92 Baradji scored have scored his as well. Much improved as you say.

Extremely frustrating evening after going ahead. Deservedly behind at the break - very sloppy from us. Well improved second half & should have grabbed a point. Missed opportunity but can't knock the effort. Lacked the clinical edge when it mattered. #rovers

An improved 2nd half from #Rovers, but ultimately a lack of conviction in front of goal has cost us tonight. Gudjohnsen, Ohashi, De Neve and Baradji all missed good chances to score. Performances have certainly improved the last 3 games but we need to be far more clinical

Players playing for the badge, battling for each other,a resolute and organised performance. O’Neils little tweaks in 2nd half won us that game. Belief and confidence is returning to the squad. Good to see the celebrations when that goal went in, we’ve deserved that. You Blues 💙

@johnrobinson07 Not the first time he’s cost us goals with very poorly executed headers. Keep it simple and head away from danger. School boy stuff sticking it right back in the middle at the feet of an attacker. Taking Carter off cost us at least a point today.

Poor defending by O Riordan for their goal just heads it down instead of clearing his lines. Not alive to the rebound of the post either as he was closest. That’s why Carter needs to stay on the pitch as the others not good enough 🔵⚪️⚽️🌹

0 shots on target in a relegation 6 pointer is a shocker. How Yuki starts every week is beyond me. Other than running he offers nothing. But the subs killed us today. Taking Carter off lost us that game. If he’s on his header goes clear for their first goal, not back into danger

Defensively that’s a shocker. Piss poor header from O’Riordan, head it up and away not back into danger. Then the rest of them fall asleep for the follow up. Been nothing in this game; but we’ve had 0 shots on target and are punished once again by opponents first shot of the game

Decent first half showing. Slightly sloppy in possession at times, but Looking like we could create something on the break. But I think this game is set up for Jorgensen to come on for Yuki and get in behind their back line. Be a great game to pinch a 1-0 win this. #Rovers
