@nwarddrfc: Another team that wanted to con a weak ref, thankfully we stepped up after halftime, pity Richards had to come off but good to see players getting minutes into the bodies still more to come

@millieDRFC26: Very interesting game to watch Anderson was solid at the back yet again think the referee was shocking but a wins a win. guaranteed we are going UP!!!! COME ON THE ROVERS

@JohnLeslieCoyl1: Good game considering the conditions and a referee who was out of his depth. Rovers under pressure for a lot of the game but I don't think I've ever known us be so clinical in front of goal. Both teams should be in the top six at the end of the season.

@GedtRTID: A fantastic win, really thought Oxford a good team. But we are consistent in how we play, this is why we are getting such good results, really enjoyed bu frustrated at not being able to be there

@W1LDE: Unlike last weekend I feel it was a case of we didn’t turn up in the first half rather than Oxford stopping us playing. Ref was one of the worst!

@alanjones142: Appalling referee and linesmen! Another win with just the odd flash of brilliance. Richards goal was outrageous for this level. Great to see Bostock on the pitch.

@Cross31Paul: Quietly going about our business. I shouldn’t say this but I don’t see anyone stopping us and this year belongs to us

@JMickAndrews: Three moments of sublime brilliance against one of the best ball playing sides in the division added to a tremendous battling performance by every player on the pitch.

@Adamlukevicker1: Another game on the back foot, but took our chances well and got a vital 3 points, Taylor-Richards needs signing on a permanent, build copps a statue and knight Darren Moore! Jobs a good en

@WoodDek: A mix of quality determination and discipline got us over the line no thanks to a ref who did his best to share the points against a very decent side.

@charlesrt7: The “win at all costs” mentality is brilliant at the moment, reminds me of the 2012/13 season... and we know what happened that year. Unbelievable result yet again.

@Stevenloose: Shame the man of the match was the ref. Gomes gets fouled, Oxford get the free kick ! 7 mins injury time from where? Might have been costly. Defensively very good as the conceded goals were when Balcombe was looking through a crowd of people. Taylor Richards goal was sublime.

@ces62: We put ourselves under to much pressure by repeatedly giving the ball away cheaply, but due to individual brilliance and solid team work and togetherness we keep getting away with it.

@philskyross1962: No fingernails left at all. They just keep grinding out results against top teams and this is in the toughest run of games you could imagine. I keep saying 'I'll take a point' but that's just panic. Darren Moore is doing an amazing job
