Millwall held to goalless draw by West Brom as Coburn misses golden opportunity

Millwall's Josh Coburn was left to lament a missed chance in the first half as his side was forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against an impressive West Brom, who took a significant step towards securing their Championship survival. Coburn, fresh from being named Championship Player of the Month for March, failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity when he steered a Thierno Ballo pass wide from close range. The draw propelled Millwall into the top two, but they failed to fully capitalize on playing first over the weekend, as Ipswich and Middlesbrough, who have a game in hand, trail by just a point. A point for Millwall means Coventry could potentially secure promotion to the Premier League if results go their way on Saturday. West Brom, now unbeaten in seven games, have a five-point cushion above the relegation zone and 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, who had limited scoring opportunities. West Brom's James Morrison expressed his happiness with the team's performance, citing their ability to push until the end despite tired legs. Millwall's Alex Neil viewed the point as a positive, acknowledging that his team had the best chances, including Coburn's miss, and that they will focus on accumulating points without relying on other teams' results.
