THE key stats and moments from the game against Gillingham.

BURNLEY

MARLON BERESFORD The goals against column must be giving him nightmares. Had it not been for a string of second half saves it would have been six...7

DEAN WEST Had a torrid afternoon long before he got the red card for a deliberate handball and his frustration showed...5

MARK McGREGOR Made a number of key challenges in the air and on the deck but had a tough time against lively opponents...6

ARTHUR GNOHERE Looked a bit off the pace and was at fault for the second and fourth goals before coming off for Ian Cox...5

GRAHAM BRANCH Struggled to keep tabs on Shaw, King and Wallace as they moved around fluently but never gave up. Ended up in attack...6

GLEN LITTLE Did not have a happy afternoon and he did not make his usual impact on the flank...5

PAUL WELLER Skipper for the second time but still looking for his first win in that role. The home midfield dominated for long spells as he chased shadows in the fog...6

TONY GRANT Not a good afternoon as he was out passed and out tackled by Smith and Saunders before coming off...5

IAN MOORE Failed to make an impact down either flank and it was no surprise when he did not reappear after the break...5

ROBBIE BLAKE Once again the brightest Burnley player who made one goal, scored a fine penalty and deserved better...8
