Don't think anyone has started one, Toughest game in awhile, not expecting a lot, However a win tomorrow and we really need to start believing the play offs and promotion is a real thing.
Head says 2-1 Blades - Billy Sharp to score (doubt Conner will even get on the pitch, hope he does play though)
For those who are interested BFG is 50/1 first goal scorer and Freeman is 16/1
Sheffield United could give striker Gary Madine his debut, while fellow loan signing Kieran Dowell is in line to make his league bow for the Blades.
Chris Wilder is likely to recall Billy Sharp and John Egan, who were rested for their FA Cup loss to Barnet.
QPR are without Massimo Luongo - who is on duty with Australia - while Angel Rangel and Tomer Hemed remain out.
Steve McClaren could stick with some of the squad players who impressed in their FA Cup victory against Leeds.
Match facts
Sheffield United are looking to win three straight league games over QPR for the first time since April 2005.
After emerging victorious at Bramall Lane just twice in their first 18 league visits, Queens Park Rangers have won on two of their last six such trips (D1 L3).
Sheffield United have not won three successive Championship matches at home since March 2018, a run which included a 2-1 victory over QPR.
QPR have won 16 points in 13 away games this season - one more than they registered in the whole of 2017-18 (15 in 23).
QPR striker Nahki Wells scored a brace in his only other league appearance against Sheffield United, netting both goals in a 2-0 victory for Bradford back in August 2013.
No player has scored more headed goals in the Championship this season than Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp (five - alongside Tammy Abraham). |  | | |  |

yeah highly predictable that we would narrowly come up short away from home up north. |  | | |

An off day. Considering we never expected this anyway I'm still happy to be 4 points away from play offs. I highly doubt we will make it but still enjoying the season. Forget the game, move on to Preston. Simples |  |

brought back as cover surely, was on the bench at rotherham recently anyway. If we had been protecting a lead instead of chasing the match, maybe it would have been Manning on, not Chair. |
Ya, Chair was the right sub in the circumstances.
Not too disappointed today. Shape was excellent, work-rate never dipped, defence excellent and ref did us no favours in stopping one break away to book one of theirs. He should have booked at least five Sheff Utd players for cynical pullbacks but only once our breaks had been allowed to build up (where possible).
Didn't quite fall for us today and very few of our ads on their game. But this was a bad performance by our recent high standards and we still allowed the oppo very little. I can deal with that. |  |

Not a disaster by any means but would have been nice if we’d created something. Anything.
The referee’s grasp of the advantage rule just fluctuated effortlessly seemingly dependent on whichever decision gave us less chance of having a shot. | | | |
