Sheffield United player ratings: Four standout players in QPR win as Blades return to top six

Was a spectator for much of the match, had little to do.

In for his debut and the Croatian international will be happy with how he performed. One little slip in the second half but other than that, won his headers and tackles and his positioning was good. In the right place to clear the danger inside his own area on a couple of occasions. Was doing well until an injury forced him off midway through the second half. Physios looked to be working on his right knee. United can't afford to lose him in the same way they have Charlie Goode. Heckingbottom will be hoping this is nothing serious.

Played well. Won his battle up against Lyndon Dykes, who got very little change out of the United man. Came close to scoring too when he was on the end of a ball into the box following a corner but his effort went wide.

Back in on the left of the back three and did little wrong. Steady away.

A good display from the wing-back. Brought energy and tenacity down the right and got in behind his man on a couple of occasions. Final ball not good enough at times, though, and also gave away a needless free-kick right on the edge of his own area late on.

Another strong performance from the Norwegian international. Made some great runs down the right, driving forward and had more licence to roam today, sometimes popping up on the left. Had a good chance to test the keeper in the first half, breaking from midfield with a clear run at goal but his effort was blocked by a defender.
