A LOOK at the key moments and stats from the game against Birmingham City.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD: Celebrated extending his loan period by a month with an excellent performance that at least kept the score down...8
DEAN WEST: It was a frustrating night for the right back who failed to make an impact going forward...6
KEVIN BALL: Made a number of key tackles as both a centre half and in midfield after the break when Davis came on...7
IAN COX: Made a nuisance of himself in attack but had a tough time against Mooney at the back...6
GRAHAM BRANCH: After a good display away from home looked a bit anxious on his home patch and went off at half time...6
GLEN LITTLE: Has still to rediscover his sharpness having returned from hamstring injury, just not beating players as he can...6
PAUL WELLER: Again one of the Clarets' more effective players on a night of disappointments...7
LEE BRISCOE: Once again filled a couple of different roles but was less consistent in his performance than normal...6
PAUL COOK: Made an early exit to make way for Ian Moore after he had struggled to make an impact and had been booked...6
ALAN MOORE: Had a good clash with Jeff Kenna but struggled to make a real impact before being replaced by Blake...6
