CHRIS Wilder claimed it was a point gained against Coventry after his Sheffield United side were pegged back twice in a hard-fought draw at the CBS Arena.
Tyrese Campbell opened the scoring, before Norman Bassette scored his first Sky Blues goal.
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi put the Blades back in front, before Anel Ahmedhodzic was sent off for grabbing Bassette by the throat and throwing him to the floor in a crazy rush of blood just before the half-time interval.
Coventry piled on the pressure in the second half as Bobby Thomas headed Coventry level with ten minutes remaining.
Wilder said: "They started the better, against the run of play we scored, they got back into it with a cross-come-shot which we're a bit disappointed with.
"For me, it's definitely a point gained with how the game went.
We're 2-1 up, do we go kamikaze and play 4-3-2 and open the game up? We sat in, we have shown that we're prepared to defend, the only disappointing thing for us was that we had nothing going forward, no stretching the team.
