New date for Yorkshire derby

The match was scheduled for Saturday 22nd April 2023 but has been put back due to United’s involvement in the Emirates FA Cup semi-final that weekend. in place of Robinson, but it was Rovers who almost added a third as Hedges cut inside from the right and hit the post, with the ball rolling across the goal line before being cleared. But on 82 minutes, just when it seemed the tie might be slipping away, United showed character and resilience in bucket loads to drag themselves back into the reckoning, with MCBURNIE placing a left-footed strike across Pears and into the far corner to reinvigorate the Lane, as Doyle tried to repeat the feet and Bogle came on for Baldock. And with seconds left of the 90, United snatched it with an absolute screamer. Morton was outmuscled by Ndiaye, McAtee worked the channel and from Berge’s pass, DOYLE took aim and unleashed an unstoppable effort beyond a helpless Pears as the roof literally came off at S2. Four minutes of injury passed with too much incident allowing Blades fans to plot a return to the national stadium next month.

Will Vaulks says the mentality of the Owls squad has been a key factor in the Owls season.

The midfielder spoke with swfc.co.uk following Friday night’s draw with Bolton and cut a dejected figure after posting a point on the board. With a desperate desire to improve game on game, Vaulks has his eyes set on Tuesday’s South Yorkshire derby as Wednesday head to Barnsley. Discussing the club’s winning mentality this season, he explained:

“We want to win every game, simple as that really. Every game we go into we want to win and when we don’t we are disappointed.

“We’ll pick the Bolton game apart and see where we can be better and go from there.

“We’ve got a massive game on Tuesday, Barnsley away so we’ll take the point from Bolton, see what we can improve and go and try and win that game.

“We’re 23 games unbeaten and we want to see how long we can keep that going.

“The players and staff want to win every single game and that mentality has been a big factor in our success so far.” Wednesday have suffered just three defeats all season with the last going all the way back to early October.
