BURNLEY have secured the services of Bolton duo Gareth Farrelly and Delroy Facey on another month's loan.
Midfielder Farrelly and striker Facey have impressed manager Stan Ternent since arriving from the Reebok Stadium at the beginning of the month.
And the extension means Clarets winger Glen Little, who set up Kevin Davies' equaliser in the Trotters 1-1 home draw with Wolves on Saturday after coming on as a late substitute, will remain with Bolton for the same length of time.
As a result, Farrelly and Facey will boost Burnley's ranks when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carling Cup third round after Ternent's men were handed a trip to Molineux on the week commencing October 27.
Plus defender David May will have completed his one-match ban, following Saturday's sending off during Wimbledon's opening game at the National Hockey Stadium, Milton Keynes.
May was cautioned for a first-half challenge on Nigel Reo-Coker then handed a second yellow card after the ball struck his arm during a Dons attack - a decision which left Ternent deeply frustrated.
"To be sent off it has to be deliberate handball, I would have thought those were the rules of the game," the Clarets boss said.
"It was definitely the turning point of the match because we were coasting. We were in complete control of the game, I don't think there's any doubt about that, and we would have gone on to win the match quite comfortably.
"It's not right. Football's a contact sport.
"Surely we have a responsibility to people coming (to the game) they're paying £25 some of them £38.
"They've come to see a game of football, 11 against 11.
"I certainly don't condone it if somebody does something stupid and they deserve to be sent off, but I'm lost for words with it."
Ternent admitted his fears about the detrimental effect bookings will have on squads.
"I think with the way football is, certainly in the Football League, and the financial implications for most teams, suspensions will play a bigger part in getting a team out than injuries will," he said.
"If somebody makes a tackle, they make a tackle, if it's a dangerous tackle and they get booked, fine. If they do it again and they get sent off, fine. If it's a deliberate handball or denying a goalscoring opportunity - we're well aware of the rules.
"That was a nice game of football yet I don't know how many bookings and stuff we've had - most of them for us. Why? There wasn't a bad tackle in the game and I finished up with 10 men for a half-hour.
"It's just quite incredible what's going on.
But the Burnley boss revealed he would not appeal against the decision.
"What's the point," he said.
"I try to look on the bright side, I thought the side played quite well and we were in the ascendency for most of the game.
"But we lost two points and I feel we've been on the end of some rough justice.
"Obviously we'd expect them (Wimbledon) to have one or two attacks but not clear cut chances until the sending off altered the course of the game compeltely.
"I thought we battered them to be fair until that happened.
"I'm just frustrated with it all at the moment, and it's on-going."
