Rovers were looking to get a good start to the season with there first home game against Oxford United on Saturday 18th August. Rovers were unfortunate to finish the game losing 2-0 and come away with no points. This was a disappointing start to the season in the eyes of the players and the fans. Oxfords first goal came at the 21 minute mark when Jake Forster-Caskey scored from the edge of the area. Rovers had many chances, Matt Harold was brought down just outside the box, but Virgo's effort went straight at the wall. Oxfords second goal came from Alfie Potter just after 30 minutes as he easily ran through the Rovers defence and his shot went straight past Sam Walker. Clarkson did have a chance to get one back for rovers but his shot was pushed around the bar by Clarke.
