In a behind-closed-doors friendly earlier today, Millwall lost 1-0 to Premier League club Crystal Palace.

Alex Neil fielded a different starting eleven in each half, with new acquisition Max Crocombe starting in goal in the first half and record signing Josh Coburn partnering Macaulay Langstaff up forward.

Several under-21 players were also there, including Rafiq Lamptey, Jack Howland, Ben Drake, Sheldon Kendall, and Alfie Massey.
