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

Millwall's promotion push was dealt a blow as they were held to a goalless draw by an impressive West Brom side, with Josh Coburn ruing a missed sitter in the first half. Coburn, fresh from being named Championship Player of the Month, failed to capitalize on a gilt-edged chance, steering a Thierno Ballo cross wide from point-blank range. The draw sees Millwall move into the top two, but they failed to take full advantage of playing first, with Ipswich and Middlesbrough lurking behind. West Brom, meanwhile, are now unbeaten in seven games and have a five-point cushion above the drop zone. The Baggies will feel aggrieved not to have taken all three points, despite Millwall having the more clear-cut opportunities. The first half belonged to Millwall, who hit the bar through Mihailo Ivanovic, but West Brom gained the ascendancy in the second. James Morrison expressed his satisfaction with the draw, citing tired legs and a need for a bit of luck. Millwall boss Alex Neil acknowledged that a point was a positive outcome, but admitted his side had enough chances to win the game. With four games remaining, Millwall will look to win all their remaining matches and secure promotion.
