HOW the Clarets faired in the game at Forest.

BURNLEY

NIK MICHOPOULOS: Booked early on after bringing down Johnson but played with confidence and denied Westcarr a dream goal...8

DEAN WEST: Didn't always deliver the quality of cross his strikers wanted but was ready to advance whenever needed...6

STEVE DAVIS: One vital clearing header in the second half in a solid display but was made to wrk hard once John replaced Lester...7

IAN COX: Slipped badly to allow 16-year-old Westcarr to run through on goal and still looks to be a little short of match sharpness...6

ARTHUR GNOHERE: Never recovered from an injury early on and it was no surprise when he limped off to be replaced by debutant Grant...6

PAUL WELLER: Frustration showed as he was booked in the closing minutes. Struggled to take on defenders and get crosses in...6

KEVIN BALL: A couple of shots in the first half and constantly available to link play through the middle but without a cutting edge...6

PAUL COOK: Forced to move wide after the arrival of Grant and not able to make much of an impact. Silly booking early on when...6

LEE BRISCOE: Started as a wing-back but reverted to left back. Still managed to get forward but wasted a good position when he drove a shot too high...6

IAN MOORE: No dream goal on his return to the City Ground but not for lack of trying...6

GARETH TAYLOR: Again won a lot of ball in the air but had too little support with a yawning gap between midfield and attack...7

SUBS

TONY GRANT (28 for Gnohere): Hardly wasted a pass on his debut...7

DIMITRI PAPADOPOULOS (75 for Moore): Looked lively but not many chances to shine...6

ANDY PAYTON (79 for Cook): Never got a sight of goal ...6

NOT USED: Luigi Cennamo, Mark McGregor
