Bristol City are still without a home win in the Championship after an even game against West Bromwich Albion failed to produce a goal at Ashton Gate.
The home side were the better team in the first half with Mark Sykes hitting a post and Sam Bell the side netting.
Albion, without a win on the road in five matches now, were much improved after the break and went close through Jed Wallace and John Swift before a late penalty appeal was waved away when Josh Maja went down in the box.
The Robins had the best chance to win it though, only for Alex Palmer to save brilliantly from Harry Cornick in the closing stages to secure Albion's first clean sheet of the season.
