THE key stats and moments from the game against Rotherham.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD: Might have done better with the opener but had little chance with the other five as he is hit for six again...6
DEAN WEST: Played in a back four, a back three and finally a back two and was often left chasing shadows...5
STEVE DAVIS: Did not have happy time in defence but showed his bottle by scoring his second while injured...6
IAN COX: Looked to be off the pace in his first start for six weeks and was given a torrid time by Alan Lee...4
GRAHAM BRANCH: The best defender on the day as he made a series of important blocks and tackles...7
GLEN LITTLE: Never sufficiently involved and his frustration showed as he collected a booking for lashing out...5
PAUL WELLER: Recent good form dipped as he lost the midfield battle although he tried as hard as ever...6
PAUL COOK: The game, and the Rotherham midfield passed him by in the first half and he was taken off at the break...5
LEE BRISCOE: Suffered an injury in the first half and that may explain a disappointing display both going forward and tracking back...5
ROBBIE BLAKE: Once again the brightest attacking option for the Clarets with his run for the first goal a typical example...7
GARETH TAYLOR: Lasted the whole match this time but probably came off feeling just as dazed as he did at Millmoor...6
SUBS: DIMI PAPADOPOULOS...(h-t for Cook) 6
ALAN MOORE...(h-t for Cox) 6
TONY GRANT...(60 for Briscoe) 6
