CRICHTON: Solid performance in tricky conditions and couldn't be blamed for the goals...7

BRANCH: Not helped by a waterlogged flank, the wing-back did okay going forward but was caught dangerously in possession a couple of times...5

COOK: The midfield schemer has just gone off the boil and his touch deserted him last night...5

DAVIS: One to impress against his former club, either tidying up at the back or making his presence felt at the other end...7

*JOHNROSE: Criticised for a bad foul on Saturday, the midfielder proved his game is more than just a physical one by being Burnley's most incisive and creative central midfield player who deserved better reward...8

LITTLE: At times ran the Luton defence ragged but wasted a couple of crossing opportunities in the second half, albeit in difficult conditions...6

MULLIN: Found it difficult to make a big impression and was replaced at half-time...5 THOMAS: Solid enough on his return but influence couldn't be spread to the defensive unit as a whole...6

WRIGHT: Out of luck a couple of times in the first half and tidy outside the box, but the scoring touch wasn't there...6

COOKE: Started well and looked a threat but couldn't make it count...6

COX: The defender was given a tough night by Stuart Douglas, whose willing running gave him the edge a few times...5

SUBSTITUTES

MELLON: Didn't do much wrong but not quite incisive enough to force a breakthrough...6

SMITH: Promised much with his sweet left foot but the accuracy was missing bar one magic crossfield ball...6

PAYTON: Welcome return from the striker who couldn't pull off a miracle but looks ready to go back into the firing line...6
