A LOOK at the key facts and figures from the game against Bradford.
Burnley
MARLON BERESFORD: Inspired display with the first half stop from Eoin Jess the highlight. Beaten by scrambled goal...8
DEAN WEST: Always enjoys playing with Little in front of him but was made to struggle in the second half...6
MITCHELL THOMAS: Had a terrific tussle with Ashley Ward as neither man backed down from the physical presence of the other...7
IAN COX: Showed his prowess in attack as he nodded down for Johnson to net the opener and worked hard in defence...7
LEE BRISCOE: With no natural winger in front of him he had to bomb forward but did so to good effect, especially before the break...7
GLEN LITTLE: Not at his sharpest but played some dangerous balls to the pacy front men before making way for Blake...6
KEVIN BALL: Moved slightly to the left to accommodate Gazza and was denied a late winner by another good Alan Combe save...6
TONY GRANT: Formed a creative midfield partnership with Gazza and the two men found each other on a regular basis...7
PAUL GASCOIGNE: Was only denied a debut goal by a top class save from Combe and sparkled before the break before tiring...8
IAN MOORE: Clearly enjoying the style of play with Johnson alongside him although he should have netted when one on one...8
DAVID JOHNSON: Two in two is a persuasive argument for him to keep his place on Saturday and like Gascoigne he will only improve...7
