The Blades have blown either hot or cold in an inconsistent season, with only two of their 28 league games prior to Saturday finishing level – and zero away.<\/p>\n
But they were well worthy of their point and could have taken all three back up to Bramall Lane if not for O’Hare’s profligacy.<\/p>\n
The visitors were, however, grateful to goalkeeper Michael Cooper for a fine one-on-one save from Macaulay Langstaff, sent racing clear by Ivanovic, to prevent Millwall taking an early lead.<\/p>\n
The Blades capitalised on that let-off with an opener that owed much to Gus Hamer’s tenacity in winning possession – but there was still much for Brooks to do as he dropped a shoulder and steered home left-footed from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n
Millwall, though, were quickly level as Ivanovic stole in to flick his seventh goal of the season past Cooper from six yards after Caleb Taylor headed Alfie Doughty’s deep free-kick goalwards.<\/p>\n
Both teams lost players to heavy challenges either side of the interval, Blades defender Sam McCallum taken off on a stretcher before the break while Doughty later limped off for Millwall.<\/p>\n
In between, O’Hare somehow headed wide with the goal gaping after Millwall keeper Max Crocombe saved well from Tom Cannon’s shot.<\/p>\n
O’Hare again spurned arguably the best chance of the second half, failing to make a true connection from Femi Seriki’s inviting cross as Crocombe gathered gratefully.<\/p>\n
Millwall introduced newest signing – and Sheffield Wednesday legend – Barry Bannan off the bench for his debut in search of a headline-grabbing winner and he did have a chance amid late Lions pressure but it was a routine save for Cooper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Blades have blown either hot or cold in an inconsistent season, with only two of their 28…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325315,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-401064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
