Kevin Blackwell praised his time after they grabbed a second last gasp victory in as many weeks, thanks to James Harper’s 88th minute strike.

The Blades were heading for a 0-0 draw in awful conditions, until Harper’s goal sealed a third successive victory, for the first time this season.

We knew it was going to be a tough game. We had to be resilient, strong and focused and I am delighted that we showed those qualities really.

‘The defence was superb. The conditions out there were not conducive to good football, it was raining and the wind was howling all over the place.

‘It makes it difficult. That’s why teams don’t like coming down here because you have to keep going and stay focused. It’s important.

‘We were putting them under good pressure towards the end and in the end we deserved to nick it but I would not have been unhappy with the draw. It was a great strike by James.’
