Pidgeley: Allegedly on his bike
Lenny Pidgeley looks to have played his last game for The Lions.

The former Chelsea stopper lost his place for last night's 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest to new signing Rhys Evans and wasn't even amongst the substitutes, with manager Kenny Jackett preferring youngster Preston Edwards.

Reports coming from The Den and various Millwall messageboards suggest that Pidgeley has been shown the door by Jackett who told the keeper he would not be renewing his contract in the summer after failing to impress the new manager over the busy Christmas period.

"I feel it's best for all if Lenny finds another team and plays elsewhere", Jackett reportedly told the Evening Standard.
