Doncaster 0-0 Shrewsbury: Shrews frustrated at the Keepmoat
Tuesday 21 August 2018 23:05, UK
Shrewsbury Town remain winless this season after being held to a frustrating 0-0 draw away at Doncaster.
The result means the Shrews, League One play-off finalists last season, remain in the bottom three whilst Doncaster stay in the top six.
Rovers bossed the early stages, but Shrewsbury looked to have been denied a clear penalty on 18 minutes when Shaun Whalley was stopped in his tracks by Doncaster's Andy Butler. Whalley was brought crashing to the turf inside the area only for referee Darren Drysdale to wave play on.
Down the other end Shrewsbury stopper Joel Coleman was kept busy, first keeping out Tommy Rowe's blockbuster before denying the lively Mallik Wilks.
The restart saw Rovers come out bustling with energy but it was the visitors who looked dangerous on the counter. Lenell John-Lewis was kept out twice by Marko Marosi before Greg Docherty forced a smart save from the home keeper.
John Marquis almost stole a win for the hosts late on but narrowly nodded past a post.
