Sheffield United signed off their pre-season schedule with a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield ahead of next Friday’s season opener. United trailed at the break but got back on level terms in the second half thanks to Anel Ahmedhodzic’s close-range finish.
Harrison Burrows caught the eye on his Blades debut after his summer move from Peterborough but it was a disjointed display from the Blades for the most part, just seven days before they kick off their campaign away at Preston North End. Here’s how our man rated the Blades’ players in West Yorkshire ...
9. Gus Hamer 5
A loose early pass played Robinson into trouble and seconds later the Blades were behind, after Wiles finished well into the roof of Davies' net. Could have made amends when he was played free soon after but his first touch took him wide and his shot was parried away by Nicholls. Later used as an emergency centre-forward before making way | Sportimage
10. Callum O'Hare 6
Always looked a threat on the ball and dangerous on the half turn and in tight spaces, where he impressively never seems to panic. Had a couple of moments where he could perhaps have released the ball a little earlier but is a player that I think Unitedites will enjoy watching in a red and white shirt | Sportimage
11. Rhian Brewster 5
Led the line as United's only recognised striker and had a few early half-chances blocked. Had a long-range effort in the second half that went over but at least he isn't lacking the confidence to take it on.

12. Subs: Anis Slimane 5
Came on for Brewster and almost scored with his first action but his shot was blocked wide. Wasn't quite as composed later on when he ballooned a shot over the Huddersfield goal and into the United fans | Getty Images
