It's back to the promotion push for Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United today. Corner United United corner
Blackburn Rovers moved up to third in the Championship with their fourth successive win after Harry Pickering's goal saw them beat Sheffield United 1-0.
Hit the post with a thumping effort in the first half. Works so hard for the team but he also showed great quality in the final third with his decision-making. He's been a great January pick-up and offers some important natural width down the right. Worked really hard down the right wing. Looks more intense off the ball and he's always possessed a good range of passing. Another good display from Buckley who is enjoying his best run in the team. Won his duels and didn't back down when the game got feisty in the second half. A fantastic finish for his first of the season, lasered across Fotheringham. Classy on the ball but not at the expense of getting his head on every ball. Didn't venture into midfield as often with the threat of Max Lowe down the left in his mind. Wasn't overworked but dealt with the routine stuff very well. Roevrs broke at pace from a Sheffield United set-piece, Sam Szmodics did the hard graft, feeding Tyrhys Dolan, who reversed his pass into Pickering to fire across the goalkeeper.
Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom says his side weren't up to their usual standards during their 1-0 defeat against Rovers.
“I thought they started it better than us and then we had to work really hard to get back on top. I thought we passed the ball well on a difficult pitch. “But if I’m really honest, we weren’t at our best today. “I thought at half time we were still going to win the game after what I had seen in the first half. We didn’t play with the same sort of pace and energy that we want to play with. We had a bit more of the ball, a bit more chances, more expected goals, that type of thing.
