QPR Res 1 Palace Res 4

Last updated : 26 February 2004 By Nik Taylor

Dougie Freedman notched two goals as a hugely experienced Palace side overwhelmed QPR on Tuesday night.

The match was the first for new reserve team manager Jon Goodman, and he took the opportunity to field a side full of first-team names. The strong line-up proved too much for a Rangers side made up largely of youth-team players.

Palace’s other goals came from Gary Borrowdale and James Gibson, with QPR’s consolation coming from Scott Donnelly

Palace XI:
Lance Cronin, Mikele Leigertwood (Tariq Nabil ’70), Jamie Smith, Kit Symons (Sam Togwell ’72), James Gibson, Shaun Derry (Gavin Heeroo ’60), Tom Soares, Tommy Black, Dougie Freedman, Jermaine Brown, Gary Borrowdale
