A LOOK at the key stats and figures from the game against Cheltenham Town.

NIK MICHOPOULOS: Hobbled off in the first half in the key moment in the match having had relatively little to do...6

DEAN WEST: He was given a hard time by Cheltenham wide man Russell Milton and therefore had little affect in attack...5

ARTHUR GNOHERE: Another uncertain game from the French defender who found it hard to deal with Alsop and Naylor...5

IAN COX: Like the rest of the defence, seemed to have no confidence in the sub keeper and so contributed to the general chaos...5

LEE BRISCOE: Was pushed forward in the second half as the Clarets chased a leveller but wasted a couple of crossing chances...6

GLEN LITTLE: Came back ahead of schedule but did not look fit as he struggled to make an impact...5

KEVIN BALL: Never stopped trying as he ran about the midfield and made a couple of typically crunching tackles...6

TONY GRANT: His passing was below the standard he has produced for most of this season and he struggled like the rest...5

ALAN MOORE: Scored a lovely solo goal to give Burnley hope of a fightback and was the best of a bad lot...7

IAN MOORE: Got little change from the opposing defence and eventually made way for Brad Maylett...5

GARETH TAYLOR: No one came closer to equalising but his left foot shot was a rare bright moment...5

SUBS:

LUIGI CENNAMO (19 for Michopoulos): A sadly disappointing debut...5

GRAHAM BRANCH (77 for Little)

BRAD MAYLETT (84 for I Moore)

NOT USED: Paul Cook, Gordon Armstrong

REFEREE: A Butler (Nottinghamshire)... 7

TALKING TACTICS

FIT again Glen Little returned to the side with both managers going for their preferred 4-4-2 formations. As the game wore on Lee Briscoe was pushed forward as Ternent went for three at the back.

SOCCER HERO

ROBINS boss Steve Cotterill masterminded his team's success but took time out to praise Stan Ternent and Sam Ellis for the way they took the defeat.

THE VILLAIN

THE giant frame of 6ft 5ins Julian Alsop caused the Clarets problems at both ends of the pitch as he seemed to win every ball in the air

SKILL SPOT

THE training ground routine that saw Russell Milton work an angle to fire the home side into the lead.

TIME FOR ACTION

07A flowing move down the left ends with Jamie Victory dragging his shot wide with the goal wide open

08Alan Moore breaks forward but is tackled in the box with Glen Little and Ian Moore waiting for a pass

16Russell Milton shoots at Nik MIchopoulos and he limps off with an injury

24A well worked free kick ends with Milton firing low into the net with sub keeper Luigi Cennamo nowhere

28Tony Naylor finds Milton on the left and Julian Alsop heads the cross home from close range

30Alan Moore runs through the heart of the home defence before coolly slotting the ball past the keeper

48Gareth Taylor fires over from long range when West was breaking to his right

62Alan Moore and Lee Briscoecombined well but Briscoe's cross is poor

68The same players again link well but this time the cross is to Kevin Ball who shoots wide

60Victory's shot is blocked by West who is lying on the floor

73Cennamo nearly gifts Cheltenham a goal but within seconds Robins keeper Steve Book has to make a great save to deny Taylor

74Briscoe's first time volley is held by Book

MATCH VERDICT

ANYONE who thought Burnley had to improve from the previous week was wrong.

Cheltenham fully deserved their great day while Burnley got what they deserved - absolutely nothing
