U23s lose out in narrow 1-0 defeat to Millwall

Despite the difference in league position, and the fact Millwall had two first-teamers in Aiden O'Brien and Jiri Skalak playing, the Eagles can feel hard done by in not taking at least a point from today's 1-0 defeat to the Lions.

In summary

  • Six changes for Palace from 0-0 with Coventry City
  • TQ Addy draws fantastic save from Millwall ‘keeper after excellent Palace move
  • Aiden O’Brien heads the Lions in to the lead. 1-0
  • HT: 1-0
  • John-Kymani Gordon goes close on several occasions
  • Jiri Skalak hits the post
  • FT: 1-0

The opening 10 minutes can only be described as full-bloodied, epitomised in particular by the tenacity in the tackles of Noah Watson, with Palace’s full-back stifling Millwall’s wing-play down the right.
