MOYES’ FANTASTIC FOUR PLACATE PROTESTORS

- BY STEVE JUDGE MOTM MOLUMBUY (MILLWALL)

JAYSON MOLUMBY dreams of being in Mick Mccarthy’s Euro 2020 plans.

He hopes his form for the Ireland boss’ old club Millwall will see him promoted to the senior set up later this month.

And the on-loan Brighton midfielder, 20, boosted his chances with a man-of-the-match display against Bristol City.

Ireland face Slovakia in a Euros play-off and Molumby said: “Playing for Millwall will help my case, but the Ireland squad is something I am aiming for.

“You have to aim high in football and it is something I want to do. But I’m not silly either and I know there are big games coming up.”

But Molumby (above, left) will need better luck in influencin­g Mccarthy than he had with referee Andy Davies on Saturday. As the

Lions pushed for a winner, he had two big calls go against him, including a last-minute penalty claim.

The Robins opened the scoring on 10 minutes through Pedro Pereira’s low drilled shot from 16 yards.

But Millwall levelled when City defender Tomas Kalas, under pressure from Matt Smith, deflected Connor Mahoney’s 51st-minute corner into his own net.

Robins forward Andreas Weimann played with a tooth infection that left him with a badly swollen face.

His boss Lee Johnson joked: “We tried to get him to tell the referee he had been elbowed in the first five minutes. He wasn’t looking his best.” MILLWALL: Bialkowski 6, Romeo 7, Hutchinson 7, Cooper 7, M Wallace 6, J Wallace 7, Molumby 8, Woods 7, Mahoney 7 (Bennett 74), M Smith 7 (Bodvarsson 75), Bradshaw 7 (O’brien 85). BRISTOL CITY: Maenpaa 6, Pereira 6, Kalas 7, Baker 7, Dasilva 7, Andreas 7, K Smith 6, Nagy 6, O’dowda (Eliasson 84) 6, Patterson 6 (Wells 69, 5), Diedhiou 6.
