BURNLEY'S new management duo watched a Clarets team mixed with youth and experience beat Preston North End 4-2 in a behind-closed-doors game yesterday.
Goalscorers Steven Thompson and former Preston winger Ross Wallace staked a claim for a place in manager Eddie Howe’s plans ahead of Saturday’s televised game at Scunthorpe United,.
Youngsters Alex MacDonald and Wes Fletcher, fresh from his loan spell at Stockport County, also got on the scoresheet.
Brian Jensen was in goal and Andre Bikey impressed in defence, but Martin Paterson, who hoped to step up his comeback from a thigh injury, did not feature.
