Blackwell pleased with opener
Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell was satisfied with his side's performance after they opened their Championship campaign with a goalless draw at Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough had the best of the play but the Blades stood firm and almost snatched a victory late on when a ball from the right found Darius Henderson just inside the box but his stabbed shot was cleared by Robert Huth.
"Boro are a good team and we know they have quality," said Blackwell.
"So I was delighted that, with five new players in, we got a performance like that.
"We caused them quite a few problems up front and we were strong defensively. Maybe we could have come away with three points but I've got to be pleased with one."
