Bristol Rovers 0-0 Burton: Brewers made to settle for point
Reports and highlights as Rovers' recovery under Graham Coughlan continues
Tuesday 1 January 2019 18:56, UK
Graham Coughlan made it 10 points from a possible 15 as Bristol Rovers caretaker boss with a goalless draw against Burton at the Memorial Stadium.
Ben Turner went closest to a winner for the Brewers with a 77th-minute header from a corner that flew inches wide.
And at the other end it was centre-back Turner who was on hand to block a shot from Rovers substitute Liam Sercombe on the line in the 68th minute.
Burton created the best chance of a low-key first half after 41 minutes when Lucas Akins had a fierce shot parried by goalkeeper Jack Bonham following a through ball from Kieran Wallace.
Rovers found it hard to create anything and their only first-half effort of note was an early long-range shot from Michael Kelly which was comfortably saved by Brad Collins.
Coughlan can boast three wins and a draw from his five games in charge and looks favourite to succeed Darrell Clarke on a permanent basis.
