Sheffield United

Chris Morgan believes that Sheffield United now going level on games will be a pressure off the shoulders of the Blades players.

The Blades have two games in hand still on Blackburn and if they win them both, they’d be a point off Rovers. The amount of times teams are in that position and don’t make any use of it. Get them games out of the way.

Jayden Bogle had established himself in the Blades team but missed last night's draw with Hull City.

"He couldn't play. He had a scan on Monday, so we'll get a plan together for him because he's been fantastic for us, but we know he's one of those players we are going to have to manage at the minute between now and the end of the season, keep him fit, keep him playing as many games as possible. However, he was a surprise omission from last night's team sheet, but as Heckingbottom explains the defender has picked up a knee injury and will have to be managed through this period between now and the end of the season.

The Blades dominated the chances at Bramall Lane but had to settle for a goalless draw.

Heckingbottom said: “It was a frustrating night, for the obvious reasons. “We had a chance to give them a small message at half-time and we were better in the second half. This has been no different. “Most of our energy was used to defend the point and keep a clean sheet. It was simply one of those nights. “We had plenty of opportunities and the moment you take one, the pattern of the game changes.

In a match with few clear scoring chances, Sheffield United and Hull City played out a goalless draw at Bramall Lane.

Former Sheffield United forward Carl Asaba has praised his old side's boss Paul Heckingbottom for expressing his frustration after last night'

Was this a key error from the second-tier side’s boss not to bring him on? With all respect to Hull, they are still a side adapting to Shota Arveladze’s tactics so this is the sort of game the Blades should be winning if they do want to force their way into the top six between now and the end of the season. That provided the South Yorkshire outfit with a real chance to make up ground on their other promotion rivals – but their inability to be clinical proved to be costly in the end as they were unable to make the breakthrough.

Chris Morgan believes Oli McBurnie will come good for Sheffield United after the striker drew a blank against Hull City.

He was unlucky with a few headers and perhaps should have done better when he seized on a mistake from the Hull defence. He is, though, proven at this level and there is a hope that he can play a big part in the run-in. However, in his defence, he was part of a woeful side last season that went down and this year he’s had injury problems and fitness issues due to illness.
