BRIAN Laws was delighted with Burnley's second half comeback to grab a priceless point in their 1-1 draw against Stoke City last night.
Boss Laws said: “I think we could reflect on that in a few weeks’ time as a massive point.
"I’ve taken a lot of things out of the game, in particular the second half performance.
“I thought it was outstanding. The players could be forgiven for feeling sorry for themselves at half-time, we got dragged into a bit of head tennis, and we’re not good at that.
“When we got it down in the first half, it was poor passing, but the players responded magnificently in the second half.
“The first goal in the second half had to be ours, and we started well and got that goal.
“It was a terrific header from Nugent from a great ball in by (Martin) Paterson, and it set the tone.
“All of a sudden we were on the front foot and asking a lot of questions, and in the end I’m disappointed not to go on and win the game.
“But I was delighted with that response, and if we show the same commitment, drive and desire, I’m confident of getting a result.”
