League Cup[]

The draw for the first round was made on 17 June 2014 at 10am. Doncaster Rovers were drawn at away to League Two side York City.[4] For the second round they were drawn away to Championship club Watford.[5] The draw for the third round of the cup was made following the completion of second round fixtures on 27 August 2014. The Rovers were once again drawn away, this time against Championship side Fulham.[6] They lost this match, thus exiting the cup. However they did manage to cause Fulham trouble, with James Coppinger pulling one back on the hour mark, and were unlucky not to push into extra time with a Theo Robinson penalty being saved.[7]

League Trophy[]

Doncaster Rovers received a bye into round two in the Football League Trophy (known as the Johnstone's Paint Trophy for sponsorship reasons).[8] They were drawn away to League Two's Burton Albion in the draw for round two.[9] In the area quarter-finals Donny were drawn against fellow League One side Notts County.[10] This match was postponed, due to County's wish to avoid a fixture pile-up.[11]
