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 side was forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against an impressive West Brom. Coburn, fresh from being named Championship Player of the Month for March, failed to find the net from point-blank range after being picked out by Thierno Ballo. The point earned moves Millwall into the top two, but they failed to capitalize on playing first this weekend, with Ipswich and Middlesbrough lurking just a point behind ahead of their fixtures on Saturday. West Brom, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run to seven games and now boast 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, with Mihailo Ivanovic also hitting the bar, while the second half was dominated by West Brom. Nathan Patterson was called into action in the 82nd minute to deny Jayson Molumby, and Daniel Imray's intervention prevented Tom Watson from scoring. Attention now turns to Coventry's clash with Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich's trip to Norwich, both live on Sky. West Brom's James Morrison expressed his happiness with the point, citing tired legs but a much-improved performance in the final third. Millwall's Alex Neil acknowledged that a point is a positive outcome, particularly given the number of changes made to the team, and emphasized the importance of focusing on their own results rather than relying on others.
