The scoreline could have been worse but for Jonathan Mitchell's injury-time penalty save.
Rovers' first-half display was more encouraging than it had been in recent games but once again they went in behind at the break after Callum Guy’s long-range strike.
A brace from Jack Stretton after the interval put the hosts out of sight with Gary McSheffrey's side registering just one effort on goal all game.
9. Ben Close - 6
Perhaps should have scored his first goal for the club when Kyle Knoyle found him unmarked in the box. Produced a few moments of quality on the ball in an improved display from recent performances. Photo: HOWARD ROE, Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
10. Harrison Biggins - 6
Played some smart passes to get Doncaster moving forward in the first half. Replaced after the second goal, which he almost prevented with a sliding block. Rebound fell to a Carlisle player, however. Photo: HOWARD ROE, Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
11. Max Woltman - 5
Showed a few flashes of quality on the ball but too often it was played to him in the air when it would have been better suited to feet. Photo: Ben Roberts/AHPIX LTD
12. George Miller - 5
Like Woltman, barely won a header with too many balls pumped long to him. Rovers didn't maximise his strengths running in behind defences. Photo: Howard Roe/ahpix.com
