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

Millwall's promotion push was hindered as they were held to a goalless draw at West Brom, with Josh Coburn's first-half miss proving costly. Coburn, who was recently named Championship Player of the Month, failed to capitalize on a gilt-edged chance, steering a Thierno Ballo cross wide from close range. The result sees Millwall move into the top two, but they failed to take full advantage of playing before their rivals. West Brom, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run to seven games and now have a five-point cushion above the relegation zone. The Baggies had the better of the second half, but Millwall had the clearer opportunities, with Mihailo Ivanovic hitting the bar from distance. West Brom's Jayson Molumby was denied by Nathan Patterson in the 82nd minute, while Daniel Imray's intervention prevented Tom Watson from scoring. The draw means Coventry can secure promotion if they beat Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough fail to win. West Brom's James Morrison expressed his satisfaction with the result, stating that his team had pushed to the end despite tired legs. Millwall's Alex Neil acknowledged that a point was a positive outcome, but admitted his team had enough chances to win the game. With four games remaining, Millwall will look to win all their matches and secure promotion.
