Blades winger Mark Duffy draws a good low save from Marek Rodak after a neat one-two with Billy Sharp

All square at Sincil Bank as League Two promotion hopefuls Lincoln are having a hard time breaking down fifth-placed Mansfield.

Town's Danny Rose had the best chance of half, forcing Imps keeper Josh Vickers into a fine save after 12 minutes.

No real goal action to report.

The game's certainly opening up though and, I'll stick my neck on the line, I do not expect this to finish as it is...

Just the two shots on target in League Two's early kick-off today.

We've got two minutes to go until half-time and, as it stands, Mansfield's David Flitcroft will be the happier of the two managers.

What a waste.

Rotherham start the second half on the front foot and win a free-kick on the edge of the area but Jon Taylor smacks his effort over.

There might not have been any games in the Championship for a couple of weeks but that doesn't mean it's been totally quiet.

Earlier this week the Football League agreed a record £595m five-year TV deal with Sky Sports.

It represents a 35% increase on the previous contract, which expires at the end of this season.

The EFL is certain it represents the best possible deal for its 72 member clubs, not just financially but in "maximising reach and exposure".

But the majority of Championship clubs are not happy. They didn't want the deal signing and have expressed "grave concern" that it has.

West Bromwich Albion moved up to second place in the Championship with victory at bottom club Ipswich Town - at least temporarily with plenty going on in that department today.

Jay Rodriguez - and his top knot haircut - scored Albion's first-half opener, netting his ninth goal of the season from six yards after Kieran Gibbs had nodded a right-wing cross back across goal.

Rodriguez and Ahmed Hegazi wasted good opportunities before Harvey Barnes, who had earlier struck the post from 10 yards, fired low into the corner from a similar range to double Albion's lead.

Ipswich substitute Kayden Jackson pounced on Tosin Adarabioyo's error to cause a nervy finale and youngster Jack Lankester clipped the post with a stoppage-time free-kick, but Albion held on to move within two points of leaders Norwich.

Meanwhile, it's still 0-0 in the game at Sincil Bank.

Mansfield have come closest to scoring, with Josh Vickers superbly keeping out Danny Rose's low shot.

The Blades lead, and, as it stands, are going top.

Mark Duffy's composed strike put the visitors in front against the run of play after just eight minutes.

They've largely been on top since but Millers defender Semi Ajayi, at fault for Duffy's goal, has drawn an excellent save from Sheffield United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Richard Chatterton: I'm a Rotherham Blade living in Vienna. Happy for team, but don't want Millers to go down. Met Warne pre-season at Neustadt friendly. He's so nice.

Nice bit of play from Rotherham midfielder Ryan Williams as he lets the ball run across his body before scampering towards the Blades goal.

Sadly he can't find a shot to match the build-up as his miss-hit effort is well wide.

How have Sheffield United not scored here?!

The ball is bouncing around the area and eventually comes to David McGoldrick all of two feet out but Will Vaulks is on the line to deny the former Ipswich man.

Another chance for the hosts as Jon Taylor brings a good low save from Dean Henderson from the edge of the area.

Top save from Blades goalkeeper Dean Henderson to deny Semi Ajayi's header from Jon Taylor's hanging cross.

That's better from the hosts though as they win a couple of free-kicks and exert some pressure before the Manchester United loanee acrobatically denies Ajayi.

Bit of a hold up as Blades defender Jack O'Connell needs some treatment after taking a bit of a whack in a collision with team-mate John Egan.

Who needs enemies with friends like these eh?

As it stands, Sheffield United are heading top of the league - and Lincoln City will hope to do likewise prior to the 15:00 GMT matches.

The Imps are under way in their League Two contest at home to Mansfield Town.

Rotherham are certainly not shy about getting the ball forward quickly when they can, Michael Smith offers them some real presence at the top end of the pitch, but it does sometimes come at the sacrifice of conceding possession.

That's just what happens here but Sheffield United can't quite work an opening against a backtracking home defence.

Another let off.

Sheffield United players rather get in one another's way a little over on the left-hand side with Kieron Freeman in acres of space on the right.

Eventually Mark Duffy manages to get the ball over towards the Wales international but, much to Freeman's ire, it's behind him and goes out for a throw.

It's been all Sheffield United since the goal.

They'd had to weather a bit of a Rotherham storm in the opening minutes but this is a different game now that Mark Duffy has given the visitors the lead.

They're winning possession higher up the pitch, they're forcing set-pieces and, right now, they're heading to the top of the table.
