CRICHTON: One first-half mistake caused a few flutters but he kept his side in the hunt a couple of times after half-time...7
WEST: Untroubled defensively but the wing-back's distribution was poor at times...5
SMITH: Struggling to find his best form, Smith couldn't fire Burnley up down the left side...5
MELLON: Didn't have a bad first half but made way as Burnley had to go in search of goals...6
DAVIS: A threat to Scunthorpe when he went forward, but gave Guy Ipuoa too much room at the other end...5
THOMAS: Struggled to cope with the pace and movement of Clint Marcelle and wasn't his usual commanding self...5
LITTLE: Often Burnley's best bet to find a way through, the wing man caused Scunthorpe problems, notably in the first half...7
COOK: Misplaced a couple of passes but was one of the Clarets better performers with his set-pieces and crossing a real threat...7
ARMSTRONG: Uncomfortable at times against Scunthorpe's lively front men but popped up dangerously when going forward...6
PAYTON: The fulcrum of Burnley's attack, he got on the end of a number of crosses and but for Lionel Perez would have had more than one goal to show for it...8
BRANCH: Impressive first half as he constantly punctured the Iron defence before running out of steam...7
SUBSTITUTES:
MULLIN: Came on for the second half and his keenness to get into the box almost paid dividends...7
COOKE: Two chances fell his way but the equaliser proved elusive
WELLER: Great to see him back after health problems and nearly got the Clarets back in it.
