The Blades climbed up to fifth place in the table after former striker Rob Hulse's own goal clinched them their second away win of the season at Derby, where Blackwell's side displayed all the doggedness that helped them reach the play-off final last season. Blackwell said: "People can talk about flair and flashness all they like but you can't survive in this competition on that alone. "What really pleases me about my team is their mental toughness. They experienced a huge disappointment at Wembley in May but they've dusted themselves down and delivered exactly the right response. "I really don't think they get enough praise for it to be honest."
