A LOOK at the key stats and figures from the game against Rotherham.

Clarets:

MARLON BERESFORD: While there were some poor performances in front of him the keeper was cool under pressure...8

IAN COX: The more collected of the Clarets two centre backs and was fairly tidy...6

ARTHUR GNOHERE: Some good work but again caught in possession at times in dangerous areas...6

LEE BRISCOE: Battled all game long and worked hard to get forward when he could...7

GLEN LITTLE: A poor performance capped by a needless booking on 63 minutes and he was almost instantly substituted...5

KEVIN BALL: Tried however he might to get the Clarets ticking but struggled...6

PAUL WELLER: After shining at Barnsley Weller found himself out-gunned in the middle of the park...6

ALAN MOORE: Easily the most creative Clarets player and was unlucky not to score...8

Time for action 03 Ex-Claret Alan Lee shrugs off Ian Cox's challenge to race through on goal but his shot was not good enough to Marlon Beresford

04 Gareth Taylor gets in a header but it is straight at Millers keeper Mike Pollitt

09 Dean West plays in Ian Moore who is pulled, jostled and finally felled by Chris Swailes. After much deliberation a penalty is awarded and Taylor fires home his 12th goal of the season from the spot

12 Almost as though he were redressing the balance referee John Brandwood points to the spot at the other end after John Mullin is clipped by Paul Weller and Mark Robins bags the goal

17 Glen Little plays in Alan Moore but his curling shot goes wide of Pollitt's right-hand post

35 A lucky break for the Clarets as in their haste to clear the ball canons off Kevin Ball but Beresford is alert to the danger and saves.

59 Mullin goes within inches of scoring against his former club when he connects with Chris Sedgwick's cross but puts his shot narrowly wide

66 Sedgwick finds Andy Monkhouse with a perfect cross but Beresford is equal to the header

81 Beresford is at his best again to punch away a Sedgwick cross off the head of Robins

88 The Clarets almost nick the points when Robbie Blake and Alan Moore combine but substitute Graham Branch's header floats over the top
