Carlos Corberan Lauds Millwall's Squad Quality Following West Brom Stalemate

Following a gripping 1-1 draw at The Den, Carlos Corberan, the manager of West Brom, expressed his views on Millwall's performance and position in the Championship table. Despite the draw, Corberan highlighted the quality within Millwall's squad, suggesting their current standing does not accurately represent their capabilities. The match saw Millwall taking control in the first half with Duncan Watmore scoring a notable goal. However, West Brom managed to level the score in the second half through a penalty converted by John Swift.

Corberan remarked on the competitive nature of Millwall, stating, "They are a competitive team and for me one of the teams that their position in the table is not reflective of the level of their squad." He acknowledged Millwall's ambition to reach the playoffs and noted the challenges faced by good teams in a league filled with strong competition. The game was described as a battle of styles, with each team dominating one half of the match.

On the other side, Neil Harris, Millwall's boss, reflected positively on his team's performance against a top-six side. He felt that Millwall had dominated large portions of the game and could have secured a more significant lead by halftime. Harris pointed out the harsh realities of Championship football, where failing to capitalize on opportunities can lead to being punished by teams with quality players.

Harris also shared his disappointment over not securing all three points but chose to focus on the strong showing against a formidable opponent. He praised his team for making a "really good side look ordinary" and embodying what he believes to be a commendable Millwall side.

The match underscored the competitive spirit and quality present within teams in the Championship, regardless of their position in the league table. Both managers acknowledged the fine margins that often decide outcomes in such closely contested leagues.
