Sheffield United player ratings with plenty of sevens and an eight-out-of-ten man of the match
Sheffield United had to grit their teeth to beat Ipswich Town, and did so in good style.
Michael Cooper – made an important double save just before the opening goal in amongst some other good saves, and helped set up Patrick Bamford's goal 8
Femi Seriki – got forward well at times on the right, especially for the chance Dara O'Shea cleared off the line from Callum O'Hare 7
Mark McGuinness – a solid defensive performance from a less than 100 per cent fit player 6
Ben Mee – see above 6
Sam McCallum – one lovely first-time cross no one anticipated 6
Tom Davies – always shows his quality when he plays, the Blades just need to get more out of him 7
Sydie Peck – scuffled his way around the pitch to good effect 7
Andre Brooks – scored a goal and missed a chance for another 7
Callum O'Hare – got battered from pillar to post, including as he produced a lovely finish to open the scoring 7
Gustavo Hamer – two lovely assists after being restored to the XI 7
Patrick Bamford – scored the goal which settled the game, then blotted his copybook with two silly yellow cards 5
