Midfielder Liam Trotter was involved in injury time drama of his own with new loan club Millwall at the Den on Saturday afternoon. First Southampton striker Ricky Lambert’s freekick deflected off the Town man and into the net, then Trotter went up the other end and slotted home the equaliser.

The 21-year-old, who was making his second debut for Millwall, with whom he was previously on loan in 2006, beat two players before hitting a low drive into the net.

Elsewhere, midfielder Colin Healy helped Falkirk to a 1-1 draw against his old club Celtic at Parkhead on his debut for the Bairns.

Like Healy and Trotter, central defender Tommy Smith played the full 90 minutes on his debut as League One Brentford beat Carlisle 3-1.

Kevin Lisbie was booked as his Colchester side lost 5-0 to his former loan club Norwich at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

cbower added 20:54 - Jan 16 Well done to Trotter, perhaps he should contact Roy and tell the boys how to score against the Saints next week!!! Also, the Sky reporter said that Healy was controlling the game for Falkirk at Celtic. All good news - and we sneak a last gasp winner too - nice one!

Tractorog added 11:41 - Jan 17 Good to see the loan boys getting games. I think what Keane says has changed my mind about Healy. I've not given the guy a chance before rushing to judge him. At least he deserves time. So what if he did not cost much and came from an Irish league? He was playing in blue and that should be enough to be given time.

jamie22 added 14:16 - Jan 18 Good man, nice goal too! People have given he stupid amount of stick! To claim our results improved because he stopped playing was ridiculous.Garvan was shocking at the beggining of the season, he couldn't pass ten yards! Now look, that ball to create Colbacks goal was brilliant! He has proved what confidence does to a player! Keep it up, hope to see you back at PR sometime soon Trotter!
