But the Rovers defence slapped the shackles on Jack Marriott, the striker with six goals in three previous League games.
Posh did the same to four-goal Alfie May, who this time last year was playing for Hythe in Ryman League Division One South – level eight of the football pyramid.
Plenty of first-half promise faded into a second-half grind and a draw was probably fair. Doncaster keeper Ian Lawlor was busier than his counterpart Jonathan Bond, pushing out a closerange effort from Gwion Edwards and denying Steven Taylor a header.
Lawlor was also helped when Marcus Maddison hit the woodwork while another Maddison effort was deflected to safety by Tyler Garratt.
Ferguson added: “It was a good game. I enjoyed it. Our keeper and three central defenders were excellent – and they needed to be.”
Mccann agreed: “It was a proper competitive game.
“We should be happy with a point away from home but the players are sitting in the dressing room disappointed.
“I thought we showed a different side to our game, different qualities. We were good at defending and resolute.”
And Posh are still top of the table, if only on goal difference. Possession 49% 51% Shots On Target 5 3 Shots Off Target 5 5 Blocked Shots 2 3 Corners 8 4 Fouls Conceded 12 13 Offsides 0 0 Yellow Cards 2 3 Red Cards 0 0
