#rovers can’t have any complaints losing this one. Oxford started both halves miles the better team. The second half, they bossed it until late on.
Oxford keeper rarely tested throughout.
They threatened in stoppage time to level it with a few scares.

#oxford 0-0 #rovers. Bright start for the hosts, Rodrigues had a goal ruled out for offside.

Buckley with a shot wide, and Weimann bringing a save from the keepers legs, the closest they’ve been.

Tronstad off with what looks like a hamstring.

Great backing for #rovers, as always on the road!

Keeping warm in Oxford with Kevin Gallacher!

Today was a convincing 1-0 win for Rovers. They created the better openings, missed some really good chances and should have tested a keeper more who had an error in him.
At 1-0, the defence never looked in any real danger.
Round 4 draw tomorrow.

Massive credit to #rovers for frustrating another of the division's big hitters.
Leeds had a lot of the ball but Aynsley Pears wasn't called on too much.
The back line were outstanding as were the two in front.
I've not seen a conclusive angle on the penalty that was given.

Proper place, this.

Happy New Year from Elland Road. Should be a cracker between #leeds & #rovers.

Alongside Mark Atkins on BBC Radio Lancashire, DAB Digital Radio & Freeview channel 712.

This #rovers squad looks the business.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching them today.

Back from football training. My young pal loves to get in a photo

Looking forward to #rovers attempting 5 straight wins tonight at Sheffield Wednesday. Commentary on BBC Radio Lancashire, 103.9FM, DAB, Freeview 712.
Mark Atkins alongside me.

I thought Dom Hyam was outstanding yesterday in #rovers win.
I expected him to captain the team, he didn’t.
He’s back to his best this season after an injury affected one last year.
Him & Owen Beck were both excellent.

#rovers win it 1-0. Job done in very tricky conditions.
Huge credit to the back line for standing strong three matches in a row.
4 straight wins, things looking good.
December 7, 2024 at 4:59 PM
#rovers a goal to the good without troubling Hull. An own goal separating the sides. Tricky conditions in the wind & rain. It’ll be interesting what the second half brings.
December 7, 2024 at 3:56 PM
It’s breezy, wet, typical December fare.
December 7, 2024 at 1:21 PM
Off to Hull today. Meeting Super Atko en route.
Not seen him for ages. Commentary on 95.5FM, DAB & Freeview channel 712 #rovers

The much missed, Len Johnrose was born 55 years ago today.
A sharp shooter, straight talker, courageous, fearless, inspirational guy.
I miss him greatly.
He was a real one off.

A highly enjoyable evening at the Northwest Football Awards.
Great to see Ian Rush recognised for his vast achievements in the game. He was a pleasure to work with back in the Century FM days.
November 26, 2024 at 5:00 PM
Happy Birthday to two of #rovers finest & top fellas, Kevin Gallacher & Simon Garner.
November 23, 2024 at 9:23 AM
Oh dear!
It’s 29 years since #Rovers had a Rumble in Russia.

After some verbals with his own teammate, Graeme Le Saux lamps David Batty.

Batty responds with an icy death stare that would chill Lucifer to his bones.

The game is just four minutes old.
