Any R’s fans that had made the trip to South Bermondsey to take this one in would have found a side that failed to test former R’s stopper Chris Day throughout the ninety minutes, this despite a front two of Kevin Gallen and Shabazz Baidoo.  

For the home side a number of chances came and went with Gavin Grant and former Plymouth man Chris Zebroski the main culprits in the profligacy stakes. Millwall’s reserves have yet to concede a goal this season, perhaps Spackers should have been rooting around his stiffs a bit more as the first team had more leaks than a second hand colander.

Other than the appearance for Royce, Egutu Oliseh made his comeback from a hamstring strain whilst first team squad members Nick Ward and Mauro Milanese got some game time after only featuring fleetingly under the new regime.

It would have been useful for the youngsters to get a game with some experienced players and Goode, Howell, Munday and Watanabe will be better for it.

The result leaves Rangers in 6^th spot in the Combination League table, which sounds alright until you realise there are only eight teams in it! Next up for the reserves is a trip to Crystal Palace who currently in third place having lost 2-0 at leaders Southampton tonight. That match takes place in a weeks time with a two o’clock kick off.
