DONCASTER were left frustrated once again after another dominant performance yielded nothing more than a point against the Championship's bottom side.
Both sides went into the match knowing a win would leave their opponents propping up the table.
Nottingham Forest, with only one away win all season, will be more pleased to be going home with a point as Doncaster looked the more threatening in th
is end-to-end tussle. The South Yorkshire outfit, who have found the net only three times at the Keepmoat this season, played some flowing football and were unlucky not to go in front in the first half when James Coppinger struck the bar with a curling shot.
The lively front man also went close after the break when his shot was almost spilled over the line by Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp and the ever-dangerous Nathan Tyson went close on a number of occasions for the visitors.
Forest almost scored when Anderson, on loan from Liverpool, shot just wide of the post, before Rovers thought they had finally broken the deadlock 15 minutes from time.
A stinging shot from Coppinger was fumbled back towards his goal by Camp, but despite all the Doncaster players' pleas to the referee that the ball had crossed the line the linesman's flag remained by his side.
