Albion struggled to a goalless draw against Millwall at The Hawthorns to cap a week that brought just one point from a possible nine.

Alex Palmer

Made one decent stop in the first period but was otherwise not seriously stretched. Switched on enough to hold tame late headers. 6

Darnell Furlong

Such a positive outlet in the opening weeks of the season but didn't have an influence going forward here. 5

Kyle Bartley

Albion's backline was not as solid as they would have liked. Bartley, often so dominant, beaten in some challenges. 5

Semi Ajayi

One fine pass helped create Albion's biggest chance, otherwise some loose balls but struggled in some defensive duels. 5

Torbjorn Heggem

The most solid of the Baggies' backline. Mostly kept the door shut on Albion's left, albeit limited going forward. 6

Alex Mowatt

Not at his influential best but among the better of Albion's performers. Showed drive where others lacked but couldn't find killer pass. 6

Jayson Molumby

Back in the starting line-up and brought his energy and enthusiasm for the most part but a few passes were off the radar. 5

Tom Fellows

Millwall did a top job on Albion's two wingers. Fellows got the better of McNamara once, but otherwise he was very well shackled. 5

Grady Diangana

A first start of the season for Diangana and he did pretty well. Kept going despite a couple of injuries of late. Looked like he tried to move Albion forward. Drew praise from Corberan. 6

Mikey Johnston

A first start since his permanent summer signing but it didn't work out for the Republic of Ireland international. Time and again he was challenged by Leonard. 5

Josh Maja

Skied his and Albion's only clear chance of the game. Out of character for him. Neat touches in deep positions but ploughed a lone furrow. 5

Substitutes

Uros Racic (for Molumby, 75) Added some legs and energy in midfield and tried to make inroads down the right with Fellows 6.

Lewis Dobbin (for Johnston, 75) One of his best cameos yet. Bright on the left, showed some skill and pace 6.

John Swift (for Fellows, 80) Couldn't make a late impression n/a.

Jed Wallace (for Diangana, 90) n/a.

Karlan Grant (for Maja, 90) n/a.

Subs not used: Wildsmith, Holgate, McNair, Styles.
