Lewis Guy scored as Doncaster reached the FA Cup second round and increased Brentford's winless run to 15 games. Guy scored with a low drive after skipping round three tackles just a minute after Bees new boy Fola Onibuje had headed over from just six yards.
Ex-Bees Jason Price and Mark McCammon could also have scored for Rovers.
Jo Kuffour shot just over for Brentford but they left the field to a chorus of boos and with fans calling for the dismissal of manager Leroy Rosenior.
