Sheffield Utd boss rues missed chances

Blackwell felt his side matched the hosts during the game, but did not manage to take their chances.

“I thought there was nothing in the teams. They were two sloppy goals, make no bones about it, and straight after half-time it was disappointing,” said Blackwell.

“Really you would have been hard pressed to work out which was the Premier League side today.

“When you concede goals as early as that we had to chase the game and it disrupted us a little bit.

“If we had taken our chances in the first half the game could have been dead and buried.

“I thought we played well enough to get something out of the game.”
