The numbers which tell the story of Doncaster Rovers' 2025-26 campaign

Doncaster Rovers' players and management are now resting up after a long, hard season.

Grant McCann's men posted a respectable 14th-placed finish in League One in their first season back at the level since promotion. Here, we look at some of the key numbers that tell the story of the campaign thanks to the painstaking work of respected Rovers historian John Coyle who undertook the task of putting together all the stats and figures.

Most minutes played in the league: Owen Bailey. The skipper started every single league game and played all 4,140 minutes of the campaign. It's quite a feat and one that can be matched by just five other players in the third tier - with only Bailey and Exeter's Ilmari Niskanen and Stockport's Ethan Pye achieving it as an outfield player.

Least minutes played in the league: Jake Oram, with seven. The rookie goalkeeper made his senior debut on the final day of the campaign at Peterborough coming on for a late cameo.

Most appearances off the bench in the league: Jordan Gibson, with 23.

Number of red cards: Zero. Not one single player was sent off for Rovers across all four competitions.

Number of yellow cards: 113 in total, with Robbie Gotts receiving the most with 14.

Biggest attendance: 42,473 for the Carabao Cup third round clash away at Tottenham Hotspur in September. In the league, it was the 19,775 versus Bradford at Valley Parade in January.

Lowest attendance: 1,270 for the Carabao Cup second round clash away at Accrington Stanley in August. In the league, it was 3,069 away at Burton in February.

Biggest home attendance: 11,618 versus Cardiff in February.

Lowest home attendance: 1,506 versus Fleetwood in the EFL Trophy in January.

Average home attendance (league): 9,073.

Most goals in a game: Seven, when Rovers lost 4-3 away to Cardiff City in December.

Number of Rovers goals scored in all comps: 79.

Number of hat-tricks scored: Two, both by Billy Sharp. One came against Chesterfield in the EFL Trophy and the other, famously, on his Rovers swansong against Peterborough on the last day.

Number of permanent signings made across the campaign: 10.

Number of loanees signed: 8.
