Doncaster Rovers 1 - 1 Oldham Athletic AFC : Managerless duo Doncaster and Oldham share spoils
Posted Sunday, September 20, 2015 by PA
Oldham ended a run of three successive defeats to clinch a hard earned point in a 1-1 draw with Doncaster.
But it left them without a victory in their last seven games while Doncaster have not won in two matches since sacking manager Paul Dickov.
There was little goalmouth action in a scrappy first half hour, although James Coppinger missed a chance for the home side when he volleyed high over the top in the 23rd minute.
Rovers took the lead with a goal out of the blue three minutes later when defender Andy Butler headed home at the far post following a free-kick from Cameron Stewart.
But the visitors hit back in the 34th minute when Jonathan Burn headed home from close range following a corner from Mark Yeates.
Doncaster improved after the interval following the introduction of substitute Richie Wellens who immediately carved out a chance for Coppinger, who fired wide.
Dany N'Guessan twice went close but Oldham hung on for a point with Mike Jones clearing off the line from Gary MacKenzie in injury time.
