Sheffield United’s 0-0 draw with Bournemouth at the weekend looks to have been enough to keep them in the promotion play-off spots for now after teams around them failed to capitalise.
With the likes of Blackburn Rovers also drawing and Middlesbrough suffering defeat it means the Baldes hung on to sixth spot.
Despite not picking up three points, manager Paul Heckingbottom was thrilled with the performance of his players saying: “Performance-wise, that was right up there with the best.
“We were playing a team that’s going to be in the Premier League next season.”
However, the result could have matched the performance had Morgan Gibbs-White not been denied what Heckingbottom felt was a clear penalty, saying he wants to speak to refereeing officials:“I want to speak to someone. I do want to have a chat with someone and then have them come in.
“All you can do is try and work out what is happening. Clearly I’m frustrated and not happy about it.
“But I also want to try and be constructive. We can’t do anything about it now and, in one sense, we have to move on. But I also want to try and get to the bottom of it, to see if there’s anything we should be doing or aren’t doing.”
