Blades v Rovers LIVE
HALF TIME
and another goalless first half for the Blades this season as they go in level at the break - thought Berge was brilliant in that half, driving forward from the right, and United had the better chances for my money but Kaminski has made a couple of decent saves. Foderingham at the other end untroubled as ever

Gallagher has a go
on the volley after a spell of possession from the visitors but he puts it high over, as the board goes up indicating one minute of added time
corner Blades
as van Hecke and his goalkeeper suffer a breakdown in communication and he heads behind, Norwood to take it and Goode gets a head on it at the back stick - but he can’t get it on target
Brilliant run from Berge
down the left sees him beat a couple of defenders and drive into the box, his smashed cross is deflected twice but lands in Kaminski’s grateful arms
Khadra goes close
with a well-struck free-kick after Norwood was adjudged to have fouled Gallagher - I’m not sure it was as close as the Rovers fans thought, judging by their reaction, but it wasn’t a bad effort
Egan is booked
for a clumsy challenge on Gallagher as Rovers looked to break following RND’s loose pass
Berge gets on his bike
to ghost past his mark and bear down on the Blackburn defence, in the end Rothwell has to trip him from behind and picks up a deserved yellow card
Buckley shoots wide
for the visitors after Egan was robbed in possession and Rovers looked to break quickly, it’s hit well but wide of Foderingham’s goal
