Mansfield v Blades LIVE
Ndiaye again
sees his shot saved after an intelligent pass from Brewster set him free, Pym again got a strong hand to it and it was hacked away by a defender despite Norwood’s best efforts to force it home
Ahmedhodzic gets up highest
to head a right-wing cross, he gets a good connection but it’s wide of the goal
Best chance so far
as Berge drives forward and finds Ndiaye with a lovely pass, the Senegal international lets fly and Pym does enough to palm it round the post
Shouts for a penalty
as Brewster goes down under the challenge of Harbottle, it would maybe have been a generous one but he was the right side of the defender and looked to shoot as he went down - nothing given though
Dangerous ball across
from the Mansfield right almost results in a tap in for Akins, but it’s just out of his reach and Baldock taps it behind for a corner, which is cleared by the same man
And that’s drinks
as both sets of players take on some much-needed refreshment - it’s very muggy here in Mansfield and United have been the better of the two sides so far for me, without really penetrating that Mansfield back line and testing Pym in the home goal
Oates does well
to turn and lose Clark on the halfway line, he drives forward but shows too much of the ball to Ahmedhodzic who nicks it away calmly
Ball over the top
from Ahmedhodzic sets Baldock free, but Pym is there in time to pick it up before the Blades right-back can get on the end of it
Osborn gets that wrong
as he looks to play in Stevens behind down the left wing but his attempted pass goes out for a throw in, before he lets fly from distance but it’s over Pym’s crossbar
