North End lost 1-0 at Bramall Lane on Monday night as Greg Halford's second-half header gave United a 2-1 victory on aggregate. Jones had a chance to level the scores with 15 minutes remaining but saw his goalbound shot cleared off the line by Blades midfielder Brian Howard. The defender told the club's official website: "That moment hurt a bit to be honest, it's going to be in my memory all summer. "I'm always confident I'm going to score and waiting for that one chance and when it arrived it was a bit unexpected. "On another night we could have got the goal, gone to extra time and penalties and Sheffield United would be complaining and raging of the chances they missed. But it just wasn't to be."
