A ROUND-UP of the key moments and stats from the defeat against West Brom.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD: Given a hero's reception before the game. Made some good early catches but had little chance with the goals...7
DEAN WEST: Had to be wary of the marauding Neil Clement down the flank and wasted a couple of good crossing positions...6
ARTHUR GNOHERE: His uncertain run of form continued as he had to give best to the pace and power of Jason Roberts...6
IAN COX: The skipper was at fault for the second goal as he was out-muscled by Roberts and he had an uncomfortable afternoon...6
LEE BRISCOE: Tried hard down the left and put in a superb tackle in the second half as Adam Chambers broke through on goal...6
KEVIN BALL: Came close to converting a Little cross in the second half and his crunching tackle ended Roberts' evening...6
TONY GRANT: Barely got a pass right in the first half as his radar was out of order but nearly netted in the closing minutes...5
PAUL COOK: Returned to the starting line-up and forced an early save from the keeper. But like the rest of the side struggled...5
ALAN MOORE: Given an advanced role he struggled to make an impact against the best defence in the division...6
IAN MOORE: Saw one fierce drive tipped over the bar by Russell Hoult but got little change from his namesake and co...6
GARETH TAYLOR: Endured a bruising battle with the massive Darren Moore and invariably came off second best...6
