Tronstad hamstring injury makes it worse. Travis isn’t far off a return but it could be a while before they’re together in the midfield.
Oxfords wide players (who have both worked under John Eustace) were a constant threat.
Reinforcements required & the manager knows it.

#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.

The stage is set!

I'd suggest that it was soft.
The character to come back from conceding late was excellent. The subs playing a part in it.
The Hyam-Batth partnership looks as solid as any in the division. The art of defending is very much alive.
They should have signed Batth a year ago.

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.

Looking forward to this. Fleetwood Town v Accrington Stanley on BBC Radio Lancashire

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

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

Here they come. #swfc v #rovers

Last seasons #rovers line up here. Only a year ago.

Tronstad the only starter tonight who started that game.

Teams. #swfc v #rovers

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.

#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.

It’s breezy, wet, typical December fare.

Off to Hull today. Meeting Super Atko en route.
Not seen him for ages. Commentary on 95.5FM, DAB & Freeview channel 712 #rovers

He absolutely loved teaching. So many kids have missed out.

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.

Happy Birthday to two of #rovers finest & top fellas, Kevin Gallacher & Simon Garner.

Oh dear!

On a chilly day like today….the T20 Blast fixtures are out. Bring on the summer!
