Interim West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison cut a figure of measured frustration after his side's hard-fought 0-0 draw with Millwall at The Hawthorns. Speaking to BBC Radio WM, the Baggies boss dissected a Championship clash that was a tale of two halves, pinpointing the fine margins that separate a point from all three.

"They had the better of the first 30 minutes," Morrison admitted, acknowledging Millwall's strong start. The visitors controlled the early tempo, putting West Brom's defensive resolve to the test in a physical, typical Championship battle.

However, a tactical adjustment at the interval shifted the momentum. "We needed to sort a couple of bits out at half-time," Morrison revealed. "Then I thought [in the] second half we were the stronger team, had the bigger chances and kept them away from our goal."

The dominant narrative of the second period became one of near-misses for the Albion attack. Morrison pinpointed the missing ingredient in the final third, stating, "I felt we were just a final pass away tonight - the right shot, choosing the right pass." It was a game where the creative spark and clinical edge were just out of reach, a common challenge in the relentless grind of the league.

He highlighted one key moment that encapsulated the evening: "The big moment, the goalkeeper's [Anthony Patterson] made a great save." That crucial intervention ensured the points were shared, leading Morrison to conclude, "so I think overall it's probably a fair result." While the clean sheet and second-half response provide a platform, the search for that decisive final ball continues as West Brom aims to climb the table.
