We need to be physically stronger than that, pushed around all over the park. Having said that we had the best chances before they scored.

I love the way we nonchalantly play it across the back line when we are 1 down with minutes left!! Yeah no ideas and no urgency which is worrying It's typical Rovers as if we'd been playing a decent side it would have been an entirely different performance. |

Absolutely awful. Not a single positive to come out of that game. I’m 100% certain Cambridge won’t see another visiting team as poor as that for the feast of the season.
Anyone still think Loft is a good option from the bench? We must get a new striker in this week.

A real off day for Rovers with Arron Collins once again ineffective!

Pathetic today …
Hopefully a wake up call
Barton completely out thought
Players completely out fought
We need a goal scorer - Collins miss today was criminal !
People wandering around adding absolutely phuck all - Finley / Evans were absolutely awful.
One of the worst performances I have seen for a while - especially as Barton claimed he knew what we wound up against today.
It’s one game though - not the end of the world by any means.

Awful. Bloody awful. Lol at promotion. Can’t beat Cambridge united. Fk these guys lol Cambridge are now top, there’s been far too much disrespect towards them. They were much better than us today. That was a big reality check for us. Too many assuming we were suddenly a top six team. Went into panic mode at 1-0 down and started pumping long balls to nobody. |

Is there a point to Ryan Loft? Trundled through with no purpose when we needed more energy. He wasn't alone though.
Plenty of meaningless possession and noone showing the enterprise to unpick the block.
2nd goal was offside, mind.

A performance to be ashamed of that one. Bring JCH in at all costs & sack Finley off next week. I was just thinking at least the window is still open to replace players who are simply not good enough for where we are aiming |

Does this disappointing performance coincide with Barton back in the dug out? Asking for a friend 🤔 Good try but I'm pretty certain he was there on Tuesday? It was a tongue in cheek comment It's just so disappointing and a continuation of the last couple of years where we look good against the better teams in the division and then play so badly against the less fancied teams. Early days of course...but |

Awful performance today , all foreplay and no penetration even a goal down with minutes left we were dicking about passing across our back four with no tempo.
I’m far from convinced by this keeper as well.
Belshaw the better of the two from what I’ve seen so far.
Collins needs a game or two on the bench he’s been out of form for about 4 months of season time and Sinclair is in form.
Finley a liability in midfield , either he’s badly out of form or his legs have gone and this is what we can now expect from him.
Start Sinclair for Collins and Bogarde for Finley next match I reckon.
Loft is useless needs to be sold / out on loan and we need a striker before the window closes.

Think Cambridge have gone top with that win, shows how poor this league is.

Game changed on Collins miss. I don’t think that changed the game. They were better than us from the first minute. But obviously he’s got to score that. |

Barnsley 1 Oxford 3
Charlton 2 Port Vale 3 (still playing)
Portsmouth 0 Cheltenham 0 15 mins to go.
Puts a different slant on our previous results....

Not sure JCH would have done any better with the service Loft got, which was just as bad as Marquis got before he was subbed off. |

Back down to earth with an almighty bump! Yeah that was f*cking sh*t but lets not be too disheartened.
We still have James Wilson, Jevani Brown, Lamare Bogarde and hopefully a new striker(JCH)to come into the side.
5 points from 4 games, 3 of which have been away from home is still a decent return and more points than most of us would have expected when we first saw the fixtures.
Up The Gas!
