An experienced Lions side, which included Maik Taylor, Therry Racon and Karleigh Osborne as well as N'Guessan, went in front in the second minute via Wilkinson with Ainsley equalising on 14.

Meanwhile, academy schoolboy Cemal Ramadan, a striker, is set to play for the Republic of Ireland U16s in the first of two friendlies against Estonia in Dublin tomorrow afternoon.

U21s: Crowe, Hammond, Youga (Marriott), Thorsteinsson (Berkane), Ainsley, Whight, Burke (Timlin), Kourouma, Murray, Lawrence, October.

sirbenofmorlingshire added 15:22 - Nov 19 Do we know much about this lad Kourouma yet... Can't remember now if they sorted his transfer out and with all these bloomin' loans, I can't even remember if he was a permanent signing? Is he one for the future or another 'Nice one PJ...'. Anyone know/seen much of him?

bluelady added 15:51 - Nov 19 Kouroma was one for the future but what with getting paperwork done and also an injury i believe he has had little game play. The little of have seen of him he is VERY raw, so not sure if MM will extend his contract past the year. I think a risk that didnt pay off is most likely outcome.

AliceTheobald95 added 15:52 - Nov 19 @sirbenofmorlingshire Kourma signed a one year deal on or near transfer deadline deal which will just let the club see how he develops and if he is good enough for a longer term deal. I don't know how gOod he is though as haven't seen him play much. Unlucky lads but keep heads up as were against a far greater expereienced side.

AndrewPC added 05:22 - Nov 20 This result gives pause for reflection. These players are the best youngsters available at the Club bar those already in the senior squad. So imagine if they were elevated en massed to that squad now as per the "get rid of" brigade and the "play the youngsters" faction say ? These players would lead us with certainty to League 3 (as it is in reality)

BrettenhamBlue added 11:46 - Nov 20 Youga seems a bit out of his depth at the moment. Given his performance against Millwall- he will struggle big time to get a place anywhere near our first 11.
