STEVE Cotterill's disciplinary hearing with the FA has been postponed for the second time

The Burnley manager was today due to travel to Birmingham to answer a charge of using abusive or/and insulting words to a match official during August's Championship defeat to Gillingham at Turf Moor.

But after an earlier cancellation, a new date must now be agreed for the third time after Cotterill was informed that a key witness was unable to attend.

No new date has yet been fixed for the hearing, which could result in the Clarets chief receiving a fine, a touchline ban, or both if found guilty.

Meanwhile, Mo Camara is urging Burnley to keep it clean and build on the crucial home win over Nottingham Forest.

The Clarets picked up their first shut-out in nine games against Forest at the weekend, a far cry from earlier in the season when Cotterill's side had the meanest defence in the Championship.

And Camara, whose scintillating display last weekend earned him the man-of-the-match award, wants more of the same at Brighton this Saturday as Cotterill's side go in search of back-to-back away victories.

Camara, 29, said: "It was good to win again at Turf Moor after three games without a win.

"It's been a long time since we've had that clean sheet and we need to carry that on now in another hard game on Saturday at Brighton.

"In the three home league games before Forest, against Coventry, Derby and then Ipswich, we made too many mistakes and falling behind only makes things harder.

"If you look at the table, if you win three or four games you would move right up the table so we know we need to carry on with the clean sheets."

Turf Moor is a much happier place this week, with the Forest victory still fresh in the nostrils and likes of Ian Moore making a sooner-than-expected return from injury.

The treatment room is still cramped, with long-term absentees Danny Coyne and Richard Chaplow being kept company by Frank Sinclair, Jean-Louis Valois and Micah Hyde, whose hamstring injury prevented him from joining up with Jamaica for tomorrow's key World Cup qualifier against the USA in Columbus.

However, Camara is hoping that Moore's welcome return will boost Burnley's attacking options and keep the Clarets on the up.

He added: "We have had too many injuries, but now we have Ian back and if you look in the top five in the Championship, they don't always play good football but they defend well and have good strikers.

"At the moment it's hard for Robbie playing all the time on his own every few days, so it will be nice to have that week's break.

"Having Ian back with Robbie is a good thing and hopefully we will have Frank Sinclair and Richard Chaplow back soon too."

Ian Moore and Graham Branch will play as Burnley Reserves are back in Pontin's League action tonight when they entertain Stockport County. Kick off at Turf Moor is 7pm.
