    Lee Barton: 100% Brewster can shine - always had the talent. The Joker dropping him after scoring a sensational goal against Blackburn was, a ridiculous decision.

    I get the feeling you're weren't too displeased to see Slavisa Jokanovic relieved of his duties, Lee...

    Sadly goalscorer Rhian Brewster has been forced off since we asked this question. Hopefully nothing that will keep him on the sidelines for too long as he looked sharp today.

    Lovely interplay from the hosts ends with Morgan Gibbs-White smashing an effort straight at Bristol City goalkeeper Daniel Bentley. Maybe should have done better.

    The visitors go on a rare foray forward.

    Andi Weimann can't fashion an opening for himself so plays it back for Tyreeq Bakinson 20 yads out.

    His shot is on target but lack any real venom.

    Yeah, Rhian Brewster can't carry on.

    The goalscorer makes way for veteran Billy Sharp.

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    Sheffield United goalscorer Rhian Brewster is down in the centre circle.

    Looks like it might be a hamstring injury.

    That'll be his afternoon over if so.

    The players did try and keep warm during the long hiatus while Bristol City's Nathan Baker was being treated on the pitch but it's a really cold day.

    A second change for Bristol City as experienced striker Nahki Wells takes the place of teenager Ayman Benarous.

    Ok, we're back under way.

    Think there will be about 10 minutes of time added on at the end after that injury to Bristol City defender Nathan Baker.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 62 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City defender Nathan Baker is stretchered off from the field to a standing ovation from the crowd at Bramall Lane.

    As I said, he's been put in a neck brace and they're taking every precaution with the former Aston Villa man.

    He's replaced by Rob Atkinson.

    Fair play to the medical teams who were on the pitch incredibly quickly.

    Bristol City defender Nathan Baker is still on the pitch getting treated by the medical teams from both sides.

    He jumped up to challenge for an aerial ball with Chris Basham and headed the back of Basham's head at full speed.

    Baker's just been put on a stretcher now in a neck brace.

    We wish him all the best.

    Not good this.

    Nathan Baker bravely leaps to challenge for a goal kick and he clatters into Sheffield United defender Chris Basham.

    Baker is down getting some treatment on the field.

    Very scrappy start to this half.

    Probably understandable that it's going to take the players a few minutes to warm up again.

    To reiterate, it is snowing really heavily in South Yorkshire.

    We're back under way.

    Can Sheffield United hang on for all three points in Paul Heckingbottom's first game in charge?

    Rhian Brewster has endured a tough start to life at Sheffield United after joining for big money from Liverpool in September last year.

    He's got two goals in his past three appearances now though.

    Do you think the England Under-21 man could shine under Paul Heckingbottom?

    Let us know what you think about Brewster, and the game in general, by using #bbcefl on Twitter.

    It's not only snowing in South Yorkshire this afternoon...

    Burnley's Premier League match against Tottenham at Turf Moor has been postponed less than an hour before kick-off because of heavy snow.

    Bramall Lane is just 66 miles from Burnley... let's hope the snow doesn't get any worse here.

    So far, so good for Paul Heckingbottom at a snowy Bramall Lane.

    The hosts have enjoyed the majority of possession and took a deserved lead when Rhian Brewster hammered in a fine low shot.

    The visitors have had their moments though and the home side were indebted to goalkeeper Wes Foderingham for making a fine save to deny Chris Martin's header at 0-0.

    Can it hammer down with snow?

    If it can then it is.

    Both sets of players just looking to get through to the break now I'd say.

    It had been coming!

    The away side are all over the shop at the back and Enda Stevens pops a little pass into Rhian Brewster, who turns adroitly and smashes a low shot in from 15 yards.

    His first league goal at Bramall Lane and the first of the Paul Heckingbottom era.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 39 mins

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Bristol City

    Bristol City striker Chris Martin is booked for kicking the ball away.

    The visitors have now had three men booked for basically the exact same thing.

    Remarkable.

    Whistle if you think this half deserves a goal...

    It's certainly been a pretty open start at Bramall Lane, with openings at both ends.

    The Blades have enjoyed the best of it so far but it was the visitors who came closest to breaking the deadlock when Wes Foderingham produced a fine save from Chris Martin's header.
