As the second half wore on, the visitors’ frustration grew and Blades defender Chris Basham was fortunate to remain on the pitch after avoiding a second booking despite a studs-up tackle on Pickering.
But Rovers took all three points after their fourth straight league win and moved up to third, six points behind Sheffield United with 11 games to play.
