Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday were absolutely humiliated at Hillsborough this weekend, with a 6-2 defeat to play-off contenders Watford. 

Vakoun Bayo was the key troublemaker, managing to net four goals. This puts his total up to five this season, only one shy of his championship total the season prior.  

It was England Under 21 and Wednesday keeper James Beadle who took much of the blame. An extremely poor performance, undoubtedly being at fault for at least two of the goals. 

Though Pol Valentin and Michael Smith contributed consultation goals, Wednesday remained only 3 points off of the drop. 

Sheffield United

The Blades had an excellent weekend with a comfortable 2-0 win over goal-starved Blackburn. 

It was new men Harrison Burrows and Tyrese Campell which made the difference on the day; both converted driven shots to the bottom right corner.

Sheffield United will continue their title charge midweek with a visit to Bristol, where they will hope to erode the gap between themselves and league leaders Sunderland. 

Rotherham United

Rotherham fell short to Cheltenham, who are currently sat 16th in League Two in the first round of the FA cup. 

Though Steve Evans rotated his side for the game, the result will come as a shock and will continue to intensify the pressure on his position. 

The Millers will now prepare for a midweek South Yorkshire derby against Barnsley, who also featured in FA actions this weekend. 

Barnsley FC

Barnsley managed to overcome League Two opposition with a healthy 3-1 away to league contenders Port Vale. 

Marc Roberts, Davis Keillor-Dunn and Adam Phillips were the players to score, in the more or less full strength side. 

The draw for the second round will occur tonight at 7:45pm on BBC Two. Though is yet to include Championship and Premier League opposition. 

Doncaster Rovers

Barnsley travelled to Barrow in the FA Cup first round, and returned home with a 1-0 win, with 20 year old Patrick Kelly getting a late winner. 

This came in the wake of their victory over South Yorkshire rival Barnsley midweek, in the EFL Cup. The result clearly infused the team with the confidence for an assured performance. 

The Rovers will also be included in the draw for the second round. Fans will hope to see once more the magic of the FA Cup.
