Rovers have taken over the bowlplex, singing all sorts. And Oxford are going to let this happen?

Oxford United 3 (Dunkley, Edwards and Hemmings)Bristol Rovers 1 Att: 8799 with 1343 Pirates. This game will be like a bottle of bubbly. Fizzing at the start, then fading out in the second half. Safe win for us. Looking good for the play-offs, I reckon. I can see a dog running onto the pitch and seven bookings. A Bristol fan will have flares - not the pyrotechnic sort, but a badly designed pair of seventies trousers. Watch out for the ref - no, seriously, watch out; he'll come out without his watch. Their keeper will eat a pie during the game - humble pie, that is, after letting in three goals. Dunkley's goal will win goal of the season - a header from the half-way line. The scoreboard will be hacked into and show live film of Donald Trump in his bath. One of our ball boys will be attacked by one of our mascots. When they sing that 'Irene' song, the scoreboard, still affected by the hacker, will show a clip of Dexy's song 'come on Irene' by mistake. That just about does it for me.

It's a big ask but is anyone else wondering if we win the next two home games whether a shot at second place might be on? I don't mind following Chippy up again - as long as we are the better side, of course!

First game for me in a while, baffled by the selection as per usual but looking forward to seeing how it goes!

Baffled as in (unlike most of recent seasons) I have literally no idea what is supposed to be our "best" lineup - Appleton seems to have found the magic touch to rotate things and still get results.

Hemmings dead leg. Very young team but picks itself

There is nothing to rotate today though, all the options, apart from right back are injured

Nelson out with ankle injury. Hemmings, Hall and Maguire also injured and not even on the bench.
Must admit, we don't have a huge amount of impact on the bench but hey, the starting 11 is still strong and looks decent. We could win again but after all the wins of late, id take a draw - 1-1 Martinez

Do well to win today given the four injuries.

Be over the moon with a win today, but can see a 2-2 draw.
Anyone come in via didcot? Reports of it kicking off between the gas and Hereford fans there. Also talk of gas slapping oxford fans around on a bus. All from Twitter mind, so pinch of salt and all that.
Hope for three points today and everyone to behave/get home safely. COYY.

Worst time of the season for us to get injuries, here's hoping and believing we'll overcome them. Got enough quality to get the result today.

Afternoon all. All out for a win today, given the injury problems, I think we have enough on the pitch to get us the points in a tight game.
COPME ON YOU YELLOWS

Need to get ahead early because if we're chasing the game late on, there's no attackinmg threat on that bench.
