    For the second half anyway. It's a long time since I've seen that. Nearly resulted in a couple of goals too. Unfortunately Davies Odejayied his first chance and although he battled very well to get in a similar position for his second, he dragged that one wide too. Despite the missed chances he looked much better in a striking role than the wide position he took up in the first half.

    Excellent finish from Vaz Te though and another close range effort from Butterfield after Davies did well to knock down a Jim O'Brien cross.

    On another day Burnley would maybe have got something out of the game, but we could have won by more. It was that sort of match. End to end stuff with plenty of shots fired in from all angles.

    Special mention to Doyle and O'Brien. The pair of them never stopped running. More often than not O'Brien's crosses are making it into the box and causing the opposition problems where as last season they always seemed to hit the first man. Keep it up Jim.

    Well played Reds.

    Things look a lot better when we get some bodies into their box, we can score the close range efforts then, instead of hoping to score a screamer from 25-30 yards. I have nowt against shooting from distance, but when it is our main goal thrteat something is wrong.
    I thought Burnley were strange, at times they looked very poor then they looked great, very unpredictable.
    A great win and a decent performance all around, I thought O`Brien was far better against the leftback though, had the young lad on toast.

    Think Wiseman deserves a lot of credit - putting Butterfield out wide and letting him drift in meant Wiseman had to cover plenty of ground which I think he did. His best game for us.

    Exactly what I thought both about two strikers and Odejayi!! The lad just needs confidence, you could see his head was down after the second big chance, right choice to swap him as their 21, Bikey, or whatever he's calling himself now, was gash in the second half.

    O'B deserved MOM for me, Steele played a blinder too compared to their keeper with that wet ball, other than the usual sideline clearance kick and his gift to them early on that was cleared off the line.

    Great Superman dive when he was caught out of his goal from a poor clearance too.
