Burnley boss Scott Parker's verdict on Blackburn Rovers draw

Lyle Foster gave the Clarets an early lead with a clinical header but it was cancelled out by an Andi Weimann stunner.

Rovers went down to 10 men in the second half when Makhtar Gueye was shown a second yellow card for protesting to referee Tony Harrington.

“There is some frustration and disappointment obviously coming into the game wanting to get three points, and not achieving that,” Parker said after the final whistle.

“But also a lot of positives from today. I thought we started the game very well, dominated and went a goal head which was well deserved.

“Their goal comes out of nothing and that moment is obviously a world class finish, it probably jabbed us a bit.

“The sending off probably changed the dynamics a little bit in terms of a little criticism for us, we struggled to break them down and it is certainly something to work on.

“Overall, while we are disappointed – and I say that pretty weakly – there were some real positives from it.”

Burnley failed to make their man advantage count in the final half hour and Parker admitted they became slightly "predictable" at times. 

“We probably could have controlled it a little bit more,” he added. “At that moment, the emotion of the game, there was a real desperation for us to score and we all recognise that.

“But in those moments, we probably should have moved the ball more around the sides of the pitch and drag them out of positions.

“We became a little bit predictable, which can happen. We will go over that and work on it.

“I thought (the new signings) were brilliant. These boys have just walked into the building yesterday morning, they had a 45-minute training session to go through the gameplan of what we did today. I thought they were superb really.

“They have got quality and that is why we signed them. Jaidon (Anthony) gets an assist and Josh (Laurent) in midfield brought his qualities in terms of his physicality and technical quality in certain moments.”
