It'll be interesting to see how we do after our League Cup exit at Crawley.
I imagine our new left sided CH will start.
Mathew Taylor put in a very good display on his last visit to the Mem,in that terrific FA Cup game.Hopefully we can stop him today.Alfie looked like he enjoyed marking him.
Think I read there will be water breaks every 20 minutes today.
Have a good game Gasheads!
Come on Rovers!

Time to take this fast paced game out the oven and make sure it’s properly basted. Good chances both ends, great game.
Problem is, the more the heat saps our press, the more it allows U’s to be dangerous in their possession. I may be greedy, but I’m shouting press,

Hoping for a good win but the head says a score draw i guess because it’s not 3pm we are allowed live video? Normally it’s only internal break from Prem allows us live video. Anyone know when the Premiership breaks for World Cup it allows us to have the games live on iFollow? |

I may be greedy, but I’m shouting press, I’ll add we are defending very well though, all these dangerous crosses we have reacted well too. |

Good game considering the heat. Marquis has taken a bit of stick but answered by scoring a poacher’s goal. In the right place at the right time to nod it into an empty net.

Fantastic result against a strong league 1 side. Finding our feet with more signings to come. Looking forward to hearing Robinson whine about something later

Super hot football!
Rovers were excellent and thoroughly deserved the 1 0 and 3 points.
Shape well maintained, great discipline.
Oxford were no pushover,hit the bar,headed over the bar from another good chance,that one from a Mathew Taylor cross.
MT got plenty of stick,climaxing in a huge chant of Sheeeeed as he was substituted in the 2nd half.
Glen Whelan played about 60 minutes,never put a foot wrong.
Harvey Saunders deservedly won the MOTM.He is very quick and gave his all.I'm not sure he recieved much good ball but he never stopped running and the Ox defence were kept on their toes.A good player.
Our goal was a good move,possibly Quarters practiced.Great to see Marquis get his first.He was very good today.Moore the big Ox CH knew he was in a game and he looked to have struck Marquis in the face in a first half incident.
Apparently the ref did"nt see this.
Our new LB Gordon looks spot on.
Jordan Rossitter showed what a decent player he is today.Very tidy passer ,reads the game and has his shirt tucked in his shorts.Always a good sign.
Rovers looked every bit a decent professional fc today against a good Ox team.

Stats: BRFC 1 Oxford 0 - 44% - 56% - Shots 6-7 - On Target 3-2 - Corners 7-4 - Fouls 11-12 - Yellows 2-3 - Referee: Oliver Langford - Attendance 8,297
Match Report:
Bristol Rovers won their first home league game of the season as they saw off Oxford 1-0 at the Memorial Stadium.
The home side made the most of the early kick-off, scheduled at the request of Avon & Somerset Police, with John Marquis scoring his first league goal for the West Country club on 34 minutes.
A well-worked free-kick for Rovers involved Sam Finley chipping over the defence, with Aaron Collins touching the ball past Oxford goalkeeper Simon Eastwood, enabling Marquis to head into the open net.
Before that Oxford had threatened when Sam Long rose highest at a corner to send a looping header onto the crossbar after 15 minutes.
A Cameron Brannagan shot from 25 yards in the fifth minute was saved, but his captain Elliott Moore may have been fortunate to only be booked after tangling with Marquis on the floor just before the break.
James Henry then headed a Matty Taylor cross over the bar to spurn the visitors' best opening on 52 minutes.
