Carlos: Lions should eat at top table

WEST BROM boss Carlos Corberan believes the quality in Millwall’s squad is not reflected by their league position after his side rescued a point at The Den.

The Lions controlled the first half and Duncan Watmore capitalised with a fine finish past Baggies goalkeeper Alex Palmer.

However, the visitors won a penalty after the break and John Swift (left) made no mistake, converting past Matija Sarkic.

Corberan feels Millwall have the quality to compete at the top of the table rather than look over their shoulder at the relegation picture. He said: “That’s why they are competing at this level.

“They are a competitive team and for me their position in the table is not reflective of the level of their squad.

“Over the last five or six games they have lost just one and in the summer their target would have been to reach the play-offs. When there are many good teams in the Championship this can happen to good teams.

“I think that today was a tough game – there were two teams with two different styles.

“In the first half they were better than us but in the second half, with our style, we were a little bit better than them.

“But we were not brilliant and didn’t create enough chances.”

Millwall boss Neil Harris was happy to take the positives after an impressive performance against a team in the top six. He added: “What a good Millwall performance for so much of that game, especially in the first half.

“We had them rattled, and they’re a really good side with really good players, but we bossed it. We should have been out of sight at half-time.

“If you don’t see teams off at this level, you get punished by a moment and when they have quality one-on-one players, you get found wanting.

“But we have made a really good side look ordinary.”
