Oxford United (h) - 09/12/25

[StHelensRover]

Easily the lowest turnout I've ever seen for a league game at Ewood. 7k at most. 

The atmosphere has been funereal the entire half, long periods of silence, like being at The Crucible 

The football from both sides has been guff.

From where I stand it looked like a foul on Miller for their goal, but let's be honest, it was coming anyway. Stinking first half. 

 

[Gamst]

No doubt we’ll manage to get this match completed. The drains might be blocked but despite that this club is heading down it at a rapid speed. 

[bazza]

Come on Mr Putin. You've naffed the red button......now shut down all electricity in Ewood...........please

[LDRover]

Now apathy is happy that it won without a fight.....

Need to be adding this to the playlist at Ewood.

[Devon Rover]

Home against a shit team. 3 at the back (fine in itself) with a fucking awful "screening midfielder" as an extra defender, essentially, coupled with a midfield in TGH who seems to have idolised Jason Lowe as someone who's entire game seemed to be based on running around. Useless team, overly defensive and poorly organised. Needs baragi and cantwell at half time. 

[OsloRover]

Sheff wed will finish above us if we play like this every game

[G Somerset Rover]

Unless I’m mistaken that’s two first half goals scored at Ewood this season in TEN games.

Thirdly how the hell are we loosing to these lot.

Look at our team. Alebiosu and maybe Gudjohnsen aside it's utterly abysmal. A random team which looks like you went into the football manager editor, set the current ability to 100 or less and let it arbitrarily pick a player for each position.

If we keep getting inept officials like this we are, yes. 

Unbelievable - lad should be stacking shelves. 

With the greatest respect, by the law of averages every referee cannot make every decision against us. I get that if you were reffing the games we would be first but the ref cannot stop the game less than half a second after someone goes down holding their head. The ball is in the net before he hits the ground.

Who wants to volunteer to stick a towel in the darwen river pipe?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Just when it can't get any worse. I'm sure they are watching a Bollywood film, and googling how to buy a gold Bentley. Radio silence.

[Roverthechimp]

Will we see the De Neve / Gueye double sub before or after 55 mins?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

When goes Gueye come on to save the day....

[OsloRover]

Cantwell and De Neve on

"All this confusion, nothing's the same to me" blaring out on the tannoy system at Ewood

Watching this dross in the night in Thailand...poor.

Rovers have to go go before you do.

[Angry_Pirate]

To back up my Ohashi comment. Sure he's likeable, he presses, he gives 100%, and his finishing is passable... but fuck me look at his decision making and quality of passing. It's not professional sometimes.

Miller is a donkey with a long throw we don't use. Tavares is easily the worst player in the Championship. Ribiero has lost whatever he had last season, and we're playing a back 5 and 2 holding midfielders at home to FUCKING OXFORD!

[davulsukur]

De Neve and Cantwell to the rescue! 

[moerpho]

Looks like Cantwell and DeNeve is coming on

[Mike Graham]

Rovers hired out the ‘Super Sponge’ machine from LCC to dry out the pitch this afternoon.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Shit, Sky back on!

[Torgeir]

The referee has been really poor.

Come on Rovers!
