VIDEO: Sheffield United 1 Coventry 0 - James Shield on a 'passionate' display by Blades

Billy Sharp came off the bench to score the only goal of the game against League One's second-placed side and Nigel Adkins side had to ride their luck at certain moments.

However James reflected on the hard-work put in by the home side which ultimately led them to what could be a huge win in their chase for promotion this season.

James said: "Sheffield United frustrated (Coventry) well. When they defended they defended with real heart and desire, put bodies on the line and then popped up at the end with a smash and grab raid."
