Millwall Held to Goalless Draw by Impressive West Brom as Coburn Misses Sitter

Josh Coburn's first-half miss proved costly for Millwall as they were forced to settle for a goalless draw at West Brom, who took a significant step towards Championship survival. Coburn, fresh from being named Championship Player of the Month for March, failed to find the net from close range after being picked out by Thierno Ballo. The point moved Millwall into the top two, but they failed to capitalize on playing first this weekend, with Ipswich and Middlesbrough still in contention. A draw means Coventry could now secure promotion if they beat Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough fail to win. West Brom, meanwhile, are now unbeaten in seven games and have a five-point cushion above the relegation zone. The first half belonged to Millwall, with Mihailo Ivanovic hitting the bar, but West Brom dominated the second period. Nathan Patterson made a crucial save to deny Jayson Molumby, while Daniel Imray's intervention prevented Tom Watson from scoring. Attention now turns to Coventry's clash with Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich's trip to Norwich, both live on Sky. West Brom's James Morrison expressed his satisfaction with the draw, saying: 'I'm really happy. We kept pushing to the end, we had some tired legs out there but we just needed a ball to fall to us.' Millwall's Alex Neil, meanwhile, emphasized the importance of picking up points, saying: 'A point is good, you always want to pick up points. We had the best chance through Josh Coburn, we had enough chances to win the game.'
