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

Millwall's promotion push was dealt a blow as they were held to a 0-0 draw by an impressive West Brom side, with Josh Coburn left to rue a missed sitter in the first half. Coburn, fresh from being named Championship Player of the Month for March, failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity when he steered a Thierno Ballo cross wide from point-blank range. The result sees Millwall move into the top two, but they failed to take full advantage of playing first, with Ipswich and Middlesbrough hot on their heels. West Brom, meanwhile, are now unbeaten in seven games and have a five-point cushion above the relegation zone. The Baggies will feel they deserved all three points, but Millwall had the clearer chances, with Mihailo Ivanovic also hitting the bar in the first half. The second half belonged to West Brom, who had moments of dominance but only tested Nathan Patterson in the 82nd minute. Daniel Imray's late intervention denied Tom Watson to ensure a clean sheet for the hosts. Attention now turns to Coventry's clash with Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich's trip to Norwich, with Middlesbrough's match against Portsmouth also under scrutiny. West Brom's James Morrison expressed his happiness with the result, citing tired legs but a strong team performance. Millwall boss Alex Neil was satisfied with a point, highlighting his side's tiredness in the second half and emphasizing their focus on accumulating points rather than relying on other teams.
