ECFC v Millwall (L 0-3)
Attendance: 8906
EXETER CITY OUTPLAYED BY MILLWALL AND BEATEN 3-0.
DEFENCE PANICKED IN SECOND HALF.
Exeter City were no match for Millwall in the second half, when their attack seldom moved with any cohesion and their defence constantly panicked under pressure. Millwall won as easily as the score indicates, their goals coming from Morgan (22 minutes), Constantine (49), and Johnson (79).
EXETER CITY O MILLWALL 3.
Saturday, December 1st, at St James's Park.
Attendance 8,300, receipts £663.
Lear had no chance with any of the shots that beat him, and he and Fallon, who played a hard game throughout, were the only men in the badly beaten City team who measured up to a reasonable standard. Smart tried hard in the attack but the forward line was sadly lacking in balance and penetration.
Exeter City:- Lear; Warren, Clark; Fallon, Carter, Davey; Hutchings, Smart, Smith, McClelland, Regan.
Millwall:- Hinton; Jardine, Fisher; Short, Reeve, Saward; Johnson, Constantine, Neary, Morgan, Hartburn.
Referee:- Mr G.W. Thorpe of Swindon. Linesmen:- Messrs W.E.Keel and C.G.Porter.
Stan Carter, deputising for Goddard, who was suffering from the effect of a kick on the knee last week, made his first team debut for Exeter City. The team was captained by Fred Davey.
Bowler, the Millwall skipper, was also absent due to a damaged toe sustained while training during the week.
