Bristol Rovers 0 - 0 Notts County: All square between Bristol Rovers and Notts County
Posted Wednesday, October 21, 2015 by PA
Defences dominated at the Memorial Stadium where Bristol Rovers and Notts County shared the League Two points in a goalless stalemate.
Rovers came closest to a goal in first-half stoppage time when Billy Bodin's right-footed shot from 12 yards following a corner cannoned back off Roy Carroll's crossbar.
The hosts started brightly with Mark McChrystal firing just wide and Stuart Sinclair having a shot deflected for a corner. At the other end Rovers keeper Lee Nicholls did not have a worthwhile shot to save in the opening 45 minutes.
County improved defensively as the game progressed, but rarely threatened. An Izale McLeod shot from 20 yards, deflected narrowly wide on 53 minutes, was the closest they came.
Jermaine Easter, whose red card at Mansfield on Saturday was rescinded on appeal, appeared as a second half substitute for Rovers and grazed the crossbar with a 73rd minute shot.
In the end a draw was a fair result to a game of few clear openings.
