Swansea were once again left to reflect on their profligacy in front of goal as they missed a string of chances against Doncaster in recording their sixth draw of the season at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Strikers Craig Beattie and Gorka Pintado both failed to find the net when they seemed certain to open the scoring while midfielder Thomas Butler headed against the crossbar as the Swans once again came up short in front of goal.

Rovers' best moments came courtesy of midfielder John Spicer, who shot just wide early in the second half, and Martin Woods, but they struggled for fluency and created very few chances as on-loan striker Billy Sharp was deprived of quality service.

The Swans then wasted the first of three gilt-edged chances to take the lead after 23 minutes. Butler's superb cross was missed altogether by Gorka Pintado with the goal at his mercy, and moments later the Spanish forward's excellent run and pull-back saw Beattie shoot straight at Neil Sullivan in the Doncaster goal. The treble of misses was completed when Butler headed against the underside of the bar from another Gower corner.

Woods forced De Vries into parrying his free-kick, after Ashley Williams' handball, and substitute Stephen Dobbie, on for Beattie, blazed over from distance for the Welsh side as a disappointing second half drew to a close on a night that would have done little to cheer either manager.
