Hendrie did effectively send the Blades through to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup with his superb strike from a set-piece. Sun Jihai on the other hand has been short of time on the field although the Gaffer has plead that both could be making starts against the Tigers.

Blackwell said: "I think Lee is now mentally right. I've been at the club for a year and Lee has been on the books the whole time. He's not played a lot of football and had loan spells - I think the time at Blackpool did him good.

"It made him wake up and realise what a good club this is. After coming back he came to speak to me and I'm really pleased with his attitude."

Speaking on Sun Jihai, he added: "Sun doesn't feel comfortable to play as a midfielder, but if asked to do so he will. It is something we have talked about and he has made it quite clear that he is a defender. Sun needs to be comfortable where he is playing."
