Brian Montenegro maintained his good form with both goals in a 2-0 development squad friendly win away at MK Dons on Friday morning.
Ian Hendon had a youthful side at his disposal, as several players with first-team experience had already figured in Monday's 2-0 win at Thurrock. Both teams made lots of changes in a match played behind closed doors at stadium:MK, with the emphasis for the high-flying hosts on preparing for their big League Two encounter on Monday at Oldham Athletic.
Montenegro has now scored three goals in as many run-outs for the development squad, and will have impressed the watching assistant manager Neil McDonald. The Paraguayan striker struck in each half - the first from close range, the second a neat finish from a corner - while goalkeeper Ruud Boffin will have been happy to keep a clean sheet behind a defence made up entirely of homegrown Hammers.
