Rotherham 0-0 Wycombe

Published: Saturday, 1 November 2008, 12:00AM

Wycombe extended their unbeaten league run to 14 games with a goalless draw at Rotherham who pushed them all the way.

There was little to cheer from either side in a disappointing first half, though Wycombe were left wondering how they didn't score after seven minutes.

Following a right-wing corner, Mike Williamson's header was blocked, as was Chris Zebroski's follow-up shot, and then Williamson's second effort went wide.

Two minutes later Matt Harrold had a shot well saved by Andy Warrington in the Rotherham goal.

Rotherham lost leading marksman Reuben Reid to injury after 22 minutes and their only goal-worthy effort was a snap-shot by debutant Omar Garcia from Dale Tonge's cross which whistled just over the bar.

There was little improvement after the break though only a brilliant save by visiting goalkeeper Scott Shearer after 50 minutes kept out Micky Cummins' goalbound header.

There was a let-off too for Rotherham after 71 minutes when substitute Matt Phillips' inswinging corner smacked against the crossbar.

But despite some later pressure from Rotherham, Wycombe's resolute rearguard held out for a draw.
