Laws said: "I was disappointed to say the least because I thought we let ourselves and the supporters down.
"We made stupid mistakes and it looked as if they wanted it more than we did particularly in the first-half.
"What annoyed me most was that we just forgot about everything we had worked so hard on in training.
"We switched off for the first goal and we were caught unawares for the second.
"I thought we had them on the rack when we made it 2-1 and it looked as if there might be something there for us but the third goal killed us completely."
Doncaster were bottom of the table before the game after losing four matches in a row but played nothing like a struggling side.
They were well led by outstanding skipper Leo Fortune-West who gave them the lead in the 15th minute.
Scunthorpe were hustled out of their stride by the hardworking and determined home side, who made it 2-0 in the 25th minute when Michael McIndoe unmarked at the far post and he drove home a low left-foot shot.
Iron striker Billy Sharp pulled one back following a goalmouth scramble, but Rovers reasserted themselves with a curled effort from on-loan striker Jonathan Forte.
Doncaster assistant boss Micky Walker said: We played more like a top-of-the-table side. There has never been a crisis here because we know we have some quality players and they proved it.
"We've made one or two changes to the side recently because some players looked tired and it appeared as if the defeats had been taking their toll.
"But there is a great camaraderie in the squad and all the players were there urging on the lads who were out there on the field.
"Scunthorpe are not a bad side and I think they will be up there at the end of the season, and hopefully we will be above them.²
