CRICHTON: Fine start to the campaign with a couple of excellent saves to keep the Clarets in the hunt...8

WEST: Made a disappointing start to his debut before finishing strongly when he linked well with the attack...6

SMITH: Preferred at left-back to Tom Cowan and didn't look out of place, at his best going forward late on...7

MELLON: Didn't get to grips with the Wycombe midfield in the first half but came more into the game as Burnley took control...5

DAVIS: Sean Devine had the better of the early exchanges, although Davis later redressed the balance...6

THOMAS: Burnley took their time to get tight at the back but Thomas was a dominant figure and confirmed the good impression from pre-season...7

LITTLE: Frustrating first-half with little of the ball but over the 90 minutes was still one of the players most likely to make something happen for Burnley...7

COOK: Wasn't able to dictate the flow of the game in his usual manner, bar a couple of trademark passes...5 COOKE: Very encouraging start from the striker who carried the burden in the first half and then rattled Wycombe after half-time when he scored a clinically executed equaliser...8

MULLIN: Faded after a bright start as Burnley's midfield failed to get a grip and give him anything to work with...5

BRANCH: Explosive start and some dangerous runs from the winger who made a decent contribution when the chance arose...6

SUBS:

LEE: Came on for the second half and helped change the game for Burnley with his physical presence and aerial threat...7

PAYTON: A surprise omission, Burnley looked more likely to score once he entered the fray...7

JEPSON: Still got what it takes to stamp his mark on the game, adding some authority and control to the midfield...7
