Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell was satisfied with his side's display in their 1-0 pre-season win over Estudiantes on Sunday. Young defender Matt Lawton scored the only goal five minutes from time to give the Blades the victory over the South Americans. "You just don't face that sort of opposition very often and they played in a way that we are not used to so it has been invaluable to us," Blackwell said. "It forced us to chat about it at half-time and change a few things which led to us creating loads of chances and I was pleased with the workout." Hungarian defender Laszlo Bodnar played the full 90 minutes at Bramall Lane and Blackwell is poised to make a decision on his future this week. He said: "He was only supposed to do 45 minutes but we got 90 out of him, had a good look at what he can do and we will have a chat during the week."
