A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Coventry City.
BURNLEY:
NIK MICHOPOULOS: A superb display after his late call-up and he will have given the manager a real selection poser for next weekend...8
DEAN WEST: Worked as hard as ever and played his part in the much improved defensive effort...7
IAN COX:Brilliant at the back and he even scored the only goal. Clearly has no intention of losing his place again...9
DRISSA DIALLO: Produced his best show to celebrate his new contract and if he can maintain that level of form he will stay for longer...9
GRAHAM BRANCH: Back after suspension and played well, stopping the threat down the right flank with some fine tackles...8
TONY GRANT: Powder puff last week but tackled like a dervish in the middle of the park showing he does have the hunger for the battle...7
PAUL COOK: Put last week's tepid display behind him with a captain's show. He led by example, although corners could have been better...7
ALAN MOORE: Had a couple of chances where he might have done better but he did work hard to try and make an impact...6
ROBBIE BLAKE: Not a great deal of impact in attack but it was his free kick that helped to win the game...6
IAN MOORE: Kept tracking back and helping out the midfield and managed to test the Coventry keeper late in the first half...6
GARETH TAYLOR: Not at his best but he never lets the opposition defence rest and he won some key defensive headers...6
SUBS: DIMITRI PAPADOPOULOS (71 for Blake) 6 GORDON ARMSTRONG (80 for A Moore) SUBS NOT USED: Mark McGregor, Andrew Waine, Andy Payton
