Match Report
Another defeat for our second string, but one of the better performances, especially in the first half. First teamers on show were Gary Mulligan, Albert Jarrett and making a first appearance in the Reserves, Rene Steer. Much like last week, none of them really did enough to suggest that they are going to be featuring strongly in the run in. Steer did make one very good run through the midfield in the second half which produced a chance, but the best he can hope for is the place on the bench made vacant by Adam Miller's suspension.
Millwall had three players of first team experience including our old favourite, Danny Spiller, who has had a injury-ridden spell at the Den. Danny looked his old self, plenty of enthusiasm and it was his killer pass that set up the second goal.
A bad defensive error from triallist, Cypriot central defender Valentino Shielis allowed Ashley Grimes a free run on goal for the first and there was a suspicion that Shielis also played Marquis onside for the second. Sadly alongside the excellent Connor Essam, they formed a reasonably good partnership for the most part. Five minutes from time an awful piece defending that was so bad it was comical allowed Ofoche to increase the lead to three.
Gillingham deserved a goal and Millwall thought so as well when Jarrett's cross was turned into his own net by Tefvik in the final minute.
The Easter holiday and a beautiful sunny afternoon produced a healthy crowd and an reasonably entertaining game.
