Millwall 1 Wycombe Wanderers 0 Tuesday 12th August 2014 Football League Cup First Round ![]() The loss to the Championship side came after Gareth Ainsworth name an unchanged Wycombe line-up to the one that beat Newport the previous weekend. Meanwhile, Millwall, managed by Ainsworth's former QPR boss Ian Hollaway, named seven changes to side that beat Leeds United in their first game of the season. On a rainy night in South London it was Wanderers who had the first decent chance of the tie on 7 minutes when Sido Jombati crossed from the right for Paul Hayes to volley from 12 yards and force a save from home 'keeper David Forde. Sam Wood had long range shot saved on 23 minutes before the home side took the lead. The goal came after The Lions worked the ball through from midfield, with former Wanderer Jermaine Easter involved, and ending with left back Briggs firing in from the left corner of the six yard box. Wanderers almost drew an equaliser on 38 minutes when Matt McClure held the ball up before laying back to Jombati whose low shot was tipped wide of the left hand upright by Forde. Briggs red card for a wild high kick on Jombati in the 59 minute seemed to inspire Millwall for a short period, with Matt Ingram forced to advance quickly from his line to block Lee Gregory's attempt at goal. But Wycombe had chances to level, including an 82nd minute move that started with a through ball from Jombati nodded back by Murphy down the right wing for Hayes to deliver a low cross to the far post that Paris Cowan-Hall couldn't quite get the contact on to send goalwards. Substitute Steven Craig also saw two late headers go wide as Wycombe went out at the First Round stage for the third season running. Full-time - Millwall 1 Wycombe 0
