REPORT | Rotherham 0 v 0 Sheffield United (Rotherham United)

It was honours even in the South Yorkshire derby as Rotherham United earned a creditable point against promotion-chasing Sheffield United. Both sides had to ...

Fosu took advantage to dart away but his bobbling cross was straight down the throat of Foderingham. Matt Taylor’s side have now taken four points out of six against their local rivals, following their solitary goal victory at Bramall Lane, earlier in the campaign. Leo Hjelde and Fosu combined smartly, and the Brentford loanee weighed up his options before delivering a pinpoint cross into the box which was met by Hakeem Odoffin, who looked to guide his header towards the bottom corner of the Blades goal but Foderingham showed good agility to deny him with a smart save. The Blades had upped the tempo with a series of corners and free-kicks and Johansson showed bravery to turn Bogle’s wicked cross to safety before an offside award released the pressure on the hosts. Just seconds later, Hugill flicked on a ball which saw Chiedozie Ogbene in a foot race with visiting ‘keeper Wes Foderingham, and the Rotherham flyer got a toe to the ball before the Blades stopper, but Foderingham did just enough to divert the ball away from goal. The New York crowd were at fever pitch, in a fast and furious start, and Taylor’s side had the first openings when Coventry threaded a ball to Fosu, whose path to goal was blocked abruptly by a Blades defender, who stood his ground in the box, but the referee took no further action.

The Blades returned from the New York Stadium with a point from a game devoid of quality.

United take the corner short and Bogle's delivery is tipped behind. The striker is slipped in to the left of goal and has a sight of the posts but his effort is blocked by a defender who manages to get back in time. Sheffield United continued their unbeaten run at near neighbours Rotherham United.

Rotherham keep Sheffield United at bay in South Yorkshire derby (The Irish News)

Sheffield United lost ground in the Sky Bet Championship title race as they were held to a 0-0 draw in the South Yorkshire derby at Rotherham.

The Blades were intent on pushing for a winner and Billy Sharp almost scored with his first touch after coming on but his shot was blocked by Cameron Humphreys while Wes Harding produced a fine tackle after James McAtee danced into the area. The Blades continued to look threatening, but the hosts were able to contain them and started to go into the game themselves. Paul Heckingbottom's outfit are still well placed to return to the Premier League as they hold a 13-point lead over third-placed Middlesbrough ahead of the afternoon kick-offs.

Obdurate Rotherham United the obstacle Sheffield United cannot ... (Yorkshire Post)

Sheffield United have got very good at shrugging off all manner of distractions on their seemingly inevitable march back to the Premier League.

It was never a second yellow card offence – referee Graham Scott thought the same – but just a warning that he needed to cool down and it made Hugill's substitution shortly afterwards even more of a relief. McAtee picked out Berge only for Wes Harding to jump in, and nearly found Sharp. For the promotion-chasing Blades it was a character test passed, if not with flying colours. Cameron Humphreys cut out Max Lowe's cross after more good build-up play. Rotherham largely played to their strength, ie their strength, but in amongst the long-balls, long throw-ins and flick-ons there was space for the odd moment of subtlety, such as the fifth-minute moment when debutant Conor Coventry played a restrained pass into the feet of Tarique Fosu, on his second appearance, only for the winger to run into Anel Ahmedhodzic. The game was full of different players were certain players came to the fore – more in black than red – only to be snuffed out as the teams and their tacticians on the bench worked out the problems the opposition caused.
