We will see if he is going to be available, it’s touch and go at the moment." He wants to learn, wants to get better and I know there are really good coaches at Birmingham, Keith Downing I know will be a massive help to Manny around the defending side of his game. Four of those six weeks have midweek fixtures and just to make sure the squad is right up against it, two home matches have been brought forward by a day for broadcast purposes. “When he does really well he can come back to us at the end of the season and we will be looking at him next season knocking on the first team squad door. Longelo looked like he’d made that breakthrough in December 2021, when he was called into the Europa League squad to play Dinamo Zagreb – a 1-0 defeat that turned out to be his last first team outing of the season. At a club where there is plenty of scope for mitigation, Blues’ first time head coach has flatly refused to play the ‘Yeah, but…’ card. I couldn’t think [of a better place], when you look at Manny we know how good he can be going forward and he has improved a lot on his defending but there is still stuff to go at. Just then Colin gets blown up for a foul in the right channel and Doyle sent in a curler which had Ruddy backpedalling and thumped the crossbar. Blades hero Billy Sharp might have won it late on when he was clean through on the right of the area but Ruddy was out to block and Blues scrambled clear. Then straight after that he wins a tackle on half way, races clear and as he waits for someone to cross to he is barged over by Khadra. Chong is getting on the ball in dangerous areas, Deeney is winning his battle with the defence and Longelo and Graham are getting forward. I know the kind of player he is, the kind of character he is.

But the attacking waves continued, particularly down the left flank, and both Chong and Longelo were better deliveries away from producing clear-cut chances.

Sheffield United 1-1 Birmingham City: Troy Deeney returns to his best as he scores the vital equaliser to earn the visitors a point by cancelling out Oli McBurnie's opener for the Blades

Troy Deeney struck an equaliser for Birmingham as Championship leaders Sheffield United were frustrated in a 1-1 draw at Bramall Lane.

You will receive a verification email shortly. Birmingham soon began to pose a threat of their own. Emmanuel Longelo crossed from the left wing and Tahith Chong controlled the ball smartly but only managed to volley a shot into the body of John Egan.

The Blades were involved in a feisty affair with City at Bramall Lane yesterday.

He received the return ball just inside the area and had all the time in the world to size up his effort. With just five minutes to go, someone on the Birmingham bench clearly shouted something in Heckingbottom's direction. I think it was a bit of a naughty tackle on the back of him, which happens." There was another flashpoint on 51 minutes when the players clashed in the middle of the pitch. Chong will wonder how he did not give the visitors the lead in the first half. He wanted a card shown as he called on the referee to act but Bond was not stirred. He came racing out off the bench to fight United's corner, telling them in the away dugout to sit down. It may have ended in a 1-1 draw but yesterday's encounter was not short of action on and off the pitch. Ollie Norwood went into the book on 76 minutes for a foul on Birmingham playmaker Tahith Chong. Here are some of the moments you may have missed from yesterday's encounter. He let fly with a fierce drive that looked to be heading for the bottom corner but Norrington-Davies managed to get a block on it as both he and John Egan threw their bodies in front of the shot in a desperate attempt to stop it. The United midfielder caught the former Manchester United youngster on the back of the ankle, a foul that would end his participation in the game as Tahith was substituted six minutes later unable to shake off the effects of the challenge.

Birmingham City boss John Eustace believes players like Tahith Chong need protection from referees after the Blues midfielder was forced off in the 1-1 draw ...

But as long as these players get the protection it is something we have got to get on with. Chong was a deadline day signing from Manchester United and has started the last four matches playing in central midfield. These things happen, there are certainly no complaints from myself as long as we get him protected by the referees, there are no issues. “I think every game he is probably targeted because he is such a good player. The Blades man slid in from behind with little chance of winning the ball and left Chong needing lengthy treatment. All flair players need to protecting.

The Blades owner is hoping to be in attendance at Tuesday's match at home to QPR.

"I think it's credit to the players who got most of their information on video rather than on grass and adjust to things and be prepared. "And when Jayden and Billy were preparing to play for the under 21s on Tuesday we had two - Ollie [Norwood] and Bash. "It's a reflection of where we are that people have come off disappointed.

Paul Heckingbottom, the Sheffield United manager, shed light on the thinking behind the decision to deploy Reda Khadra at wing-back against Birmingham City ...

We’ve not had to take anyone off because of an injury, so that’s good for us to know.” We knew we could play higher up the pitch and so we told Reda to focus on going that way. “We thought we would see a lot of the ball. We actually thought Josh (Williams) might be up against him (for City) but it was Jordan Graham. “But we quickly decided that we weren’t going to go that way. Speaking after the 1-1 draw, Heckingbottom admitted he contemplated the idea of changing formation before deciding not to abandon the strategy which has served United well so far this term.

FAWSL Full-Time's match report from the FA Women's Continental League Cup fixture between Durham and Sheffield United.

McAloon saved Sheffield United defender Charlotte Newsham’s penalty, the only kick to be missed in the entire shootout. Sheffield United then equalised when Walters headed home from close range but they were level for just a matter of minutes with Durham scoring a penalty kick at the other end. Georgia Walters curled the ball into the far corner of the net from the edge of the box. Walters fired an effort narrowly wide from 20 yards before Galloway arguably should have scored for the hosts after getting on the end of a cross, the player failing to hit the target. Rayner’s effort was saved by McAloon before Sweetman-Kirk somehow directed the rebound off target. The Wildcats then doubled their lead after Maria Farrugia was fouled 20 yards from goal following a lung-busting charge down the pitch.

South Yorkshire Police have took to issue a statement as fan blame officers for a 'disorder' after the Sheffield United v Birmingham game.

Home fans were a disgrace and the police were not much better. @craigrobbo6: Had a large amount of @Humberbeat who actually knew how to talk to people, like people, however, communication amongst each other was awful. @mickbcfc1975: It’s because we’re football fans so as far as the police are concerned we’re fair game mate !! Disgraceful from the police managing the game today. Kettling us all into a small space after the match was fundamentally flawed rather than letting folks just leave the ground and the area. They pushed us all onto London Road where we were sitting ducks for the fans intent on causing trouble! The fact that you are police & support police & still can be honest about some of the unacceptable police behaviour. Two of us left the game wouldn’t let us turn left as usual and forced us up a hill where the coaches were parked. What a disgrace. One social media user, Nick Glynn, said in a video tweet: “@syptweet South Yorkshire Police at @SheffieldUnited v @BCFC. People were “throwing pint glasses” whilst around kids in pubs around the city centre. Local media ‘The Star’ put these reports to South Yorkshire Police, who denied they had received any news of a stabbing and said officers were there “for the football”.
