Veteran shotstopper David Forde pulled off a string of excellent saves to earn Cambridge a share of the spoils in the Cotswolds and help banish the nightmare of Saturday's seven-goal mauling by Luton.
The 37-year-old needed to be at his best during a first half dominated by the home side who were themselves looking to bounce back from losing to leaders Notts County at the weekend.
In the 18th minute he pulled off an excellent one-handed save to keep out a Harry Pell shot after the Robins midfielder had dispossessed Jake Carroll.
And Forde denied the same player in first half injury time with an outstanding reflex save as the home side looked for the opener. There were 10 minutes of time added on at the end of the half after Liam O'Neil appeared to injure his neck.
Cambridge came more into the game after the break but rarely troubled keeper Scott Flinders.
Defender Greg Taylor crashed a six-yard volley over the bar in the 69th minute before striker Medy Elito saw his long-range effort pushed away by the Robins shotstopper five minutes from time.
