Our coverage of the match between Sheffield United and Barnsley of matchday 39 of EFL Championship 2021-22 comes to an end. Thanks for joining us! Stay tuned to ...

Barnsley got lured into a lazy Saturday lunchtime in the South Yorkshire sunshine, and punished when Sheffield United finally flicked the switch.

Like the opener, then second assist also came from a former Barnsley player, Oli McBurnie picking out Morgan Gibbs-White to put the result beyond doubt. Gibbs-White headed at Collins from Oliver Norwood's free-kick, Daniel Jebbison was the substitute called for when Billy Sharp went off injured - always a worry for his team - but McBurnie came on six minutes later and even with the ball stuck under his feet, he played a good pass into Gibbs-White, who took the ball very wide of Collins but kept his feet and his composure to settle the game.

"This is normal for this not to be our strength because we're a young team, but we need to improve on this. After the goal I was disappointed with our reaction, you are going to suffer but you have to be good at suffering. Of course we want to keep this run going and the clean sheets at home and being difficult to play against, but it takes a lot." It was a big moment in the game. I thought Barnsley stayed with us for the first 10 minutes, but after the goal we took control of the game. His shot from the right went wide.

Billy Sharp will have a scan on the hamstring injury he sustained during Sheffield United's win over Barnsley next week, Paul Heckingbottom has confirmed.

It took until they went in front through Sander Berge for Sheffield United to take control of the South Yorkshire derby.

Goals from Sander Berge and Morgan Gibbs-White sealed a 2-0 victory, although Billy Sharp did limp off in the second half to give United another injury ...

We’ll hear from Paul Heckingbottom on that in his press conference and bring you what he said as soon as we can We were playing at a level that meant we weren’t happy to draw here, and we said that at half-time. We created chances and were the same team in the second half, still pushing them down. Until the goal we played good, in the first half we were the better team if you ask me. With the help of the home crowd their players gained confidence and ours lost confidence. 12.30 kick-offs can be strange, stadiums can be flat and we looked like a side that played on Wednesday night.

Sheffield United face local rivals Barnsley at lunchtime today when they will be looking to bounce back after failing to win in their past two games.

Sheffield United need to ensure they bounce back quickly to keep their promotion hopes alive this season. That being said, options are still limited for today’s tie.

Their inclusion back with the 23s could indicate United have one or two bodies back for the bench at least. Interestingly, Joe Starbuck didn’t play, and he is a player who is on Heckingbottom’s radar and has been involved already. Jack Lester said in the press conference that he didn’t expect much in the way of returnees, but the latest under-23s selection might have hinted at otherwise.

Hello and welcome to our live blog of Sheffield United's match at home to Barnsley in the Yorkshire derby at Bramall Lane.

The defender launches a huge throw from his own half that sets MGW away on the break, United have a man over and he slips in Ben Osborn to the right but Osborn checks back and kills the attack and Barnsley eventually clear the danger. A Barnsley free-kick is headed into the area and Matty Wolfe pounces with a first-time effort but Wes is equal to it and gets down low to his right to make an instinctive stop United fashion a chance on the edge of the Barnsley area and the ball is worked wide to Jack Robinson, who strides forward and lets fly but the ball goes inches wide of the right-hand post

Sheffield United defender Jack Robinson has been praising manager Paul Heckingbottom after the former Barnsley boss gave him 'a new lease of life'.

He’s been Mr Reliable on the left hand side of the back three and has given the Blades a steely, aggressive balance they lack in Jack O’Connell’s absence. This left defender Jack Robinson praising his manager after his own turnaround in form, telling The Yorkshire Post: “It is hard when you are in and out the team to get that and Hecky has given me that chance and hopefully, I have repaid him back with some good performances. Heckingbottom coming in as manager has lifted the side in the table, but also the overall spirit of the club having reverted back to the style of play that was so successful under previous manager Chris Wilder.

A well-worked move enabled Matty Godden to fire the visitors ahead in the first half at Pride Park, but Wayne Rooney’s men boosted their survival hopes with a leveller from the spot. Reach was able to fire home in the third minute of stoppage time to rescue a point for Steve Bruce’s men, but they stay 12th and are seven off the top six. James Bree wrapped up the points with a stunning free-kick midway through the second half before Tom Eaves netted a late consolation.

The playmaker picked out Osborn who might have hit his shot first time but took a touch and fired wide. Generally, though, it was the Reds making the running, Wolfe at the door again when he shot wide from a tight angle after being played in by Bassi. Foderingham made the first save of note but it was a really good one, a corner played back to Quina, who played another straightish ball in for Michal Helik to head across goal.
