Happy days for Sheffield in their previous game, a League One match away at Accrington Stanley (placed 17th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. The striker Barry Bannan was announced as "man of the match" for Sheffield with a rating of 7.55/10. Bannan served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A FA Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Plymouth Argyle.
