Left-back Tommy Smith was sent off as Town’s U23s were beaten 5-0 in a behind closed doors game at QPR's Harlington training ground yesterday, while keeper Bert White saved one of two Rangers penalties.

Aramide Oteh scored twice before the break but also saw a penalty saved by White, Smith having been dismissed for bringing down Paul Smyth in the incident which led to the spot-kick.

Ryan Manning, who trained with the Town academy as a schoolboy, and Olamide Shodipo, successfully from the spot, were also on target in the second half with the other an own goal.

Town: White, O'Reilly, Cotter, Baggott, Smith, Gibbs, Viral, Crane, Folami, Z Brown, Simpson. Subs: Crowe, Siziba, Andoh.
