Nottingham Forest are being held to a goalless draw by Doncaster Rovers at the City Ground.

Jamie Paterson had the first chance of the game, firing wide of the target from 12 yards out having been played in by Simon Cox.

Shortly after, Rovers had a chance of their own through David Cotterill, but the midfielder could not get his strike on target having advanced forward on the break.

Cotterill again came close to putting his side ahead, escaping down the left-hand side and cutting into the penalty area, though he dragged his effort wide of the target.

Forest failed to make the most of a double chance with 36 minutes played as first Radoslaw Majewski forced a fine save out of Sam Johnstone, before Cox was denied by a combination of keeper and defenders.
