Millwall Held to Goalless Draw at West Brom as Coburn Misses Golden Opportunity

Millwall's Josh Coburn will lament a missed chance in the first half as his team was forced to settle for a goalless draw against an impressive West Brom, who strengthened their bid for Championship survival. Coburn, recently named Championship Player of the Month for March, missed a sitter when he failed to convert a point-blank opportunity from a Thierno Ballo pass. The point earned moves Millwall into the top two in the promotion chase, but they failed to capitalize fully on playing before their competitors, Ipswich and Middlesbrough, who have a game in hand. A draw also means Coventry could secure Premier League promotion if they beat Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough fails to win. West Brom, now unbeaten in seven games, has a five-point cushion above the relegation zone and will feel they could have won. Millwall dominated the first half, with Mihailo Ivanovic hitting the bar, while West Brom took control in the second half, with Jayson Molumby and Tom Watson being denied by Nathan Patterson and a back-post intervention, respectively. West Brom's James Morrison expressed happiness with the team's performance, acknowledging tired legs but praising their push until the end. Millwall's Alex Neil viewed the point as positive, emphasizing the team's aim to accumulate points without relying on other teams' results.
