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

Millwall's Josh Coburn will be left to ponder what could have been after missing a gilt-edged chance in the first half, as his team was forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against an impressive West Brom side. Coburn, fresh from being named Championship Player of the Month for March, failed to find the net from close range after being teed up by Thierno Ballo. The point earned moves Millwall into the top two, but they failed to capitalize on playing before their promotion rivals, with Ipswich and Middlesbrough still lurking. A draw also means that Coventry could potentially secure promotion to the Premier League if results go their way on Saturday. West Brom, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run to seven games and now have a five-point cushion above the relegation zone. Despite Millwall having the clearer opportunities, West Brom will feel they could have snatched all three points. The first half belonged to Millwall, who also hit the bar through Mihailo Ivanovic, but the second half was a more even affair. West Brom's best chance came in the 82nd minute, but Nathan Patterson denied Jayson Molumby from close range. Daniel Imray's intervention also prevented Tom Watson from scoring. Attention now turns to Saturday's fixtures, including Coventry's clash with Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich's trip to Norwich. West Brom's James Morrison expressed his happiness with the draw, citing tired legs but a satisfying performance. Millwall boss Alex Neil acknowledged that a point was a good outcome, but admitted his team had enough chances to win the game.
