Aldershot Town Reserves 3 Millwall Reserves 2

Lewis Grabban and Ashley Grimes were on target for Millwall Reserves against Aldershot Town at the EB Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
But goals from Damian Spencer, Dean Howell and Aaron Brown earned the home side all three totesport.com Combination points.
The Lions found thermselves a goal down after defending poorly at a set-piece, but when Grabban equalised from close range there were signs that the visitors could take control.
But the home side went in 3-1 up at the break, leaving Millwall just too much to do. Grimes pulled a goal back and was denied twice more by the home keeper, while sub Kiernan Hughes-Mason hit the bar late on. 
Afterwards coach Richard Shaw summed up his side's display thus: "If we had shown the same attitude in the first half that we displayed in the second, we probably would have won the game. Scott Barron showed a great attitude throughout and Ali Fuseini stuck to his task, but I'm afraid there were others who needed to follow their example.
There is no easy way of saying it, but some of our players did not meet the required standard in that first 45."

Millwall: Sullivan, Smith, Hegarty, O'Connor, Barron, Grabban (Hughes-Mason 70mins), Fuseini, Laird, Gibson, Grimes, Marquis. Subs not used: Drummond, Fitsimons, Rogers.
