THE key stats and moments from the match against Scunthorpe.

BRIAN JENSEN: A performance that will have perplexed manager, team-mates and fans alike. He proved he can be very good, but also at times dangerously fallible when he is called on to be commanding in the air 6

DEAN WEST: Like the seventh cavalry he came to the rescue in the nick of time. Plus he did the more mundane jobs well too on a testing night8

MO CAMARA: How much more honest and hard working can a player be and when he gets forward he poses a real threat7

DAVID MAY: Strong and commanding for most of the time but got drawn into a running battle with Steve Torpey and got booked. Experience should count but the red mist came down all too easily6

ANDY TODD: Unfussy in his manner and tidy for the majority of the time, but he will have felt Steve MacLean perhaps saw more of the ball than the Premiership player would have ideally liked6

IAN MOORE: Linked up neatly and was always a threat when he got in and around the box. Excellent finish for a very important goal7

PAUL WELLER: Some telling passes during the Clarets purple patches and worked tirelessly at all times when called on to defend7

GARETH FARRELLY: Strong in defensive duties and got forward to good effect and was unlucky to send a shot crashing against the wood of the goal frame rather than the netting it holds7

LUKE CHADWICK: With Farrelly and Weller holding and Blake coming deep the Manchester United product enjoyed a free rein at times and showed his class. Great finish for his goal and a superb set up for Blake's STAR MAN8

ROBBIE BLAKE: At times the tempo of the game and United's efforts forced him deeper in search of the ball, but when he got it he was always a danger7

DELROY FACEY: Left out on his own he proved he will run and run, as well as hold up the ball and win possession. A totally unselfish display that showed true commitment to the team's cause7
