City’s U21s resumed their Professional Development League campaign with an away draw against Sheffield United.
MATCH SUMMARY
In a competitive contest at Bramall Lane, it was the hosts who went into the break with a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal just before half-time.
The opener came from Chris Eadie, who found the net with 43 minutes on the clock.
Trailing at the interval, City required a reaction and found just that in the second half.
Continuing his impressive start to the season, winger Jake Davies got himself on the scoresheet to bring the Bluebirds level and salvage a point.
PRE-MATCH | T-JAY PARFITT
"It was a really good result on Monday against Plymouth Argyle. The boys played really well to go up there away from home and put in the performance that we did. On a personal level, to the start the game was a privilege as well, so it was really positive.
“Playing at these stadiums definitely makes it more special. Obviously, getting the opportunity to play in stadiums like Home Park and now Bramall Lane up next is something we can enjoy. No matter where we play though, the boys try to do their best, so we don’t really let the pressure affect us and just get on with it.
“Sheffield United are a very good opposition. We know their qualities, they like to play football, and they’re really aggressive, but we’ll be ready for this. We’ve trained really hard, we know what they’re going to bring, and we’ll be ready for that challenge on the day.”
