Millwall Held to Goalless Draw by West Brom as Coburn Rues Missed Opportunity

A missed chance by Josh Coburn in the first half proved costly as Millwall were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against West Brom, who strengthened their bid for Championship survival. Coburn, recently named Championship Player of the Month, failed to convert a point-blank opportunity when he steered a Thierno Ballo pass wide. The result sees Millwall move into the top two, but they failed to capitalize on playing before their promotion rivals, Ipswich and Middlesbrough. A draw also means Coventry could secure promotion if they win against Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough fail to win. West Brom, now unbeaten in seven games, have a five-point cushion above the relegation zone. Despite Millwall having the clearer opportunities, West Brom will feel they could have taken all three points. The first half belonged to Millwall, who hit the bar through Mihailo Ivanovic, while the second half was West Brom's. West Brom's best chance came in the 82nd minute when Nathan Patterson denied Jayson Molumby. Daniel Imray's intervention also prevented Tom Watson from scoring, ensuring a clean sheet for West Brom. Attention now shifts to Coventry's match against Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich's trip to Norwich, both live on Sky. West Brom's James Morrison expressed his happiness with the draw, citing the team's tired legs but improved quality in the final third. Millwall's Alex Neil viewed the point as a positive, acknowledging that his team had the best chance through Coburn and enough opportunities to win the game.
