HAVING watched Kevin Henderson in recent Burnley reserve matches, I see a much-improved individual, with added strength, fitness and skill to go with his undoubted scoring talent.

So it was no surprise to note these characteristics displayed at the game against Lincoln City when he came on as substitute. It was pleasing to see him take the game to Lincoln and top it with a splendidly-taken goal.

Surely, it is time to give this young player an extended run in the first team and allow him to prove his worth, or otherwise, to the management.
