3 things we clearly learnt about Sheffield United after their draw v Nottingham Forest

Sheffield United’s hopes of finishing in the top six were dealt a blow after Nottingham Forest scored a late equaliser in their 1-1 draw on Friday night. 

Sheffield United and Forest were in good form going into this game and it lived up to expectation, with both sides creating chances keeping the attending supporters on the edge of their seats throughout. 

However, it could have easily been a defeat for the Blades as Forest struggled to put their chances away, including a Brennan Johnson penalty which was saved by Wes Foderingham. 

The game did seem to be swinging in favour of Forest though before Billy Sharp met a deep cross into the box and put Paul Heckingbottom’s side 1-0 up in the 69th minute. 

Forest then hit the woodwork from a Steve Cook header before Ryan Yates equalised for the Reds deep into stoppage time.

The draw would have left many at Bramall Lanes disappointed after going 1-0 ahead. It would also have given Paul Heckingbottom with plenty to think about coming away from this game.

So with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at three things we learned about Sheffield United from their draw with Nottingham Forest.

It’s now an area that lacks experience and while Seriki might grab his opportunity in due course, his display against Forest was far from convincing.
