Patrick Bamford had looked like stealing the headlines with a well-taken early double for the Blades but the hosts powered back to claim their first win in six Sky Bet Championship outings. With his short-term contract due to expire on New Year's Day, Bamford put himself firmly in the shop window as he scored either side of a Tyler Bindon own goal.

We felt like we weren't too far away and there's been some good things coming and a lot of it came out tonight. We've worked really hard with Jaden in pre-season and he's worked really hard as well. There had been some good signs but without the end-product. We know how hard the season is. It's good to get the first win but it's very much feet on the floor.

Sheffield United's Gus Hamer could seal a loan move with an obligation to buy worth 15-20m before the end of the summer transfer window, FourFourTwo understands. The reigning Championship Player of the Year has remained at Bramall Lane throughout the summer, despite prior interest from the likes of Leeds United and PSV Eindhoven. Sheffield United missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, defeated by Sunderland at Wembley Stadium in the Championship play-off final.

Leeds United are interested in signing Sheffield United midfielder Gustavo Hamer during the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old has been a key player for Sheffield United.
