"Our performance was very good, against the best team in League One," Hill said.

"At 2-0 down we could have gone either way, but our performance before we went 2-0 down was good and encouraging. We caused them problems, and to get back to 2-2 was outstanding.

"We made them change their tactics two or three times, which shows the respect that Chris Wilder and Sheffield United have for us.

"We got something out of the game, both managers were probably disappointed with the scoreline but the courage of both sides has to be applauded."
