During Doncaster's period in the Conference the database does not include full match stats:
FA Cup qualifying round matches do not have line-ups included in the database. This affects a total of 7 matches during the period.
Only one of their FA Trophy games has match line-ups in Soccerbase, namely the original game against Yeovil on 19 February 2002, leaving a total of 9 Trophy matches without line-ups.
