ARTHUR GNOHERE: Some good work but again caught in possession at times in dangerous areas...6

PAUL WELLER: After shining at Barnsley Weller found himself out-gunned in the middle of the park...6

Time for action 03 Ex-Claret Alan Lee shrugs off Ian Cox's challenge to race through on goal but his shot was not good enough to Marlon Beresford
04 Gareth Taylor gets in a header but it is straight at Millers keeper Mike Pollitt
09 Dean West plays in Ian Moore who is pulled, jostled and finally felled by Chris Swailes. After much deliberation a penalty is awarded and Taylor fires home his 12th goal of the season from the spot
12 Almost as though he were redressing the balance referee John Brandwood points to the spot at the other end after John Mullin is clipped by Paul Weller and Mark Robins bags the goal
17 Glen Little plays in Alan Moore but his curling shot goes wide of Pollitt's right-hand post
35 A lucky break for the Clarets as in their haste to clear the ball canons off Kevin Ball but Beresford is alert to the danger and saves.
59 Mullin goes within inches of scoring against his former club when he connects with Chris Sedgwick's cross but puts his shot narrowly wide
66 Sedgwick finds Andy Monkhouse with a perfect cross but Beresford is equal to the header
81 Beresford is at his best again to punch away a Sedgwick cross off the head of Robins
88 The Clarets almost nick the points when Robbie Blake and Alan Moore combine but substitute Graham Branch's header floats over the top
