3 things we clearly learnt about Sheffield United after their 1-1 draw ... (Football League World)

Soccer Football – Championship – Queens Park Rangers v Sheffield United – Loftus Road, London, Britain – January 2, 2023 Sheffield United's John Egan celebrates ...

He played 69 minutes at Blackpool and then was rotated out again last night, playing a seven-minute cameo from the bench. It’s the type of character and determination you see in all promotion favourites. It’s impossible to sit here and say that the 19-year-old will be the man to fire Sheffield United to promotion, but he can ease the burden on Sharp whilst Brewster and McBurnie are out of the side. A big point to add to the tally. On another night where Sheffield United showed the type of character it takes to go on and win automatic promotion, we take a look at THREE things we clearly learnt about Heckingbottom’s side: A nine-point gap is better than an eight-point gap and, as the club stated on Twitter, it’s “a big point to add to the tally” as they push for the Premier League.

'It's a foul' - QPR boss Neil Critchley takes aim at match officials after ... (Yorkshire Live)

Neil Critchley says he felt Sheffield United's late equaliser should not have stood after spotting a foul in the build-up.

"They are the best two teams in the division but there is a long way to go. "It was from the throw-in into the box," Critchley said as he explained why he was cautioned. "I am sure if you asked Paul he would be saying the same. It was the first of his career and one he "wasn't too pleased about". Jack Robinson's long throw was not dealt with by the home defence and Neil Critchley says he felt Sheffield United's late equaliser should not have stood after spotting a foul in the build-up.

Opinion: Blackburn Rovers should keep close eye on Sheffield ... (Football League World)

It already looks as though Blackburn Rovers' January transfer pursuit of Crystal Palace winger Malcolm Ebiowei could be set to end in disappointment.

With all that in mind, it seems that if they are to miss out on a deal for Ebiowei, then Rovers at the very least, could be advised to keep a close eye on how things play out for Khadra at Bramall Lane, in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, given he is familiar with the area, and the fact that plenty of the squad he played with last season are still at Ewood Park, it could be argued that Khadra too could be open to a return to Rovers, particularly given it also would hand him another chance to show what he can do in a Championship promotion battle. Considering the success of that last spell with the club, and the relationships he appeared to build while he was there, you also feel a return to Rovers for Khadra, has the potential to go down well with the Ewood Park faithful too. [Paul Heckingbottom appeared to suggest](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-transfer-search-launched-as-reda-khadra-edges-closer-to-brighton-return-3971826) that he too would be open to Khadra returning to Brighton this month. Given the quality and spark that Ebiowei is capable of providing, and the fact that Rovers do seem to be keen to add to their attacking options this month, means there is no denying it would be a blow for the club if they were to miss out on the teenager. [Blackburn Rovers](https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/category/blackburn-rovers-news/)‘ January transfer pursuit of [Crystal Palace](https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/category/crystal-palace/) winger Malcolm Ebiowei could be set to end in disappointment.

Sheffield United salvage crucial point as John Egan's perfect timing ... (Yorkshire Post)

JOHN EGAN'S goal in the final seconds rescued a point for promotion-chasing Sheffield United in a 1-1 draw at QPR.

As the visitors pushed for a leveller, Ndiaye appealed in vain for a penalty after going down under a challenge from Dickie, and Dieng produced a near-post save to deny substitute Daniel Jebbison. QPR continued to have the upper hand early in the second half, with Willock shooting over after collecting Lyndon Dykes’ flick-on and Osman Kakay seeing a long-range shot deflected wide. After Enda Stevens’ cross from the left was half-cleared back to him, he headed the ball towards Egan, whose close-range shot deflected in off Rob Dickie.
