Doncaster held on for a point at home to League One highfliers MK Dons,who will probably feel aggravated after the game.
Doncaster were on the back foot from the off.Ben Reeves had two chances but both of them were dealt with easily enough by Jed Steer in the home goal.Harry Forrester then headed over in the first fifteen minutes.
The rest of the half was very nervy for both teams and they had numerous chances to score.Andy Butler,on his debut,headed wide of the mark and Kyle Bennett struck at David Martin from close range.At the other end,Reeves again missed a good sitter.
A team talk seemed to have had an effect on Donny's play.They were more attacking and dominant in the second period.Curtis Main got the ball rolling with a good chance going wide of the goal.
At this point,more breaks on the counter saw Wellens and Nathan Tyson came really close to scoring.Tyson was more annoyed than his midfield counterpart by mistiming a header close to the goal.
Another few chances were wasted in the last ten minutes.Bennett sent a freekick over the bar,Forrester felt as though he should've had a penalty after a handball by Benik Afobe and Keegan's header was offside.
VIEW FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
DONCASTER BOSS PAUL DICKOV
"We were far better in the second half of the game and I'm annoyed we didn't come away with something better than a point."
"Once the side has freshened up a bit more,we can change tactics and help the team to gel a bit more.Andy Butler can help by aiding the defence."
"Overall,it was a better team display today."
MK DONS BOSS KARL ROBINSON
"I'm not going to talk about the vacant post at Birmingham.The focus is now at MK Dons and I want to look at that."
"Credit to Doncaster and Paul Dickov.The side that they played out there today showed how good they can be when they're on the ball."
