Millwall held to goalless draw at West Brom as Coburn misses crucial chance

Millwall's Josh Coburn missed a golden opportunity in the first half as his team was forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against an impressive West Brom, who are edging closer to securing their Championship status. Coburn, recently named Championship Player of the Month for March, failed to capitalize on a Thierno Ballo pass from point-blank range. The draw sees Millwall move into the top two, but they failed to fully capitalize on playing before their promotion rivals, Ipswich and Middlesbrough, who have games on Saturday and are just a point behind. A point for Millwall means Coventry could now secure promotion to the Premier League if results go their way on Saturday. West Brom, now unbeaten in seven games, have a five-point cushion above the relegation zone and will feel they could have taken all three points. Millwall dominated the first half, with Mihailo Ivanovic also hitting the bar, while West Brom controlled the second half but only seriously threatened Nathan Patterson's goal in the 82nd minute. Daniel Imray's late intervention ensured West Brom kept a clean sheet. Attention turns to key fixtures on Saturday, including Coventry vs. Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich vs. Norwich, both live on Sky. West Brom's James Morrison expressed happiness with the draw, acknowledging tired legs but praising his team's fight and improved quality in the final third. Millwall's Alex Neil viewed the point as positive, noting his team had the best chances and started to tire in the second half, but remains focused on accumulating points without relying on other teams' results.
