Paul Heckingbottom says he took more satisfaction from getting to grips with a good Brighton and Hove Albion team and what it will do for his team's belief than seeing Sheffield United off the bottom of the Premier League.
And the Blades manager was delighted to see his side getting stronger as the 1-1 draw with Brighton and the previous week’s 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers went on. The Blades had been bottom of the pile since September 23 but four points in the last two games before November's international break have lifted them above Burnley and to within four pioints of their next opponents, Bournemouth.
'We're disappointed with the goal but I have to look past that and the first 25 minutes in particular they moved us about and exploited the spaces. 'We tried to be aggressive with it but you can sort of pre-empt what they're going to do but the players on the pitch for them solved the problems as well. They kept moving us about too much, too often and exploiting the space.
