Reading boss Steve Coppell insisted his team were the more likely winners at

Turf Moor and were unfortunate not to take all three points.

He said, "I thought we were the team who was going to win it, we played some good stuff in the second half in particular.

Our last three or four games have taken on a pattern because we're getting into a lot of good situations and things are flashing across the box but we haven't had many clear chances.

"We've had so many of those situations and we've got to work doubly hard to score right now. We had three or four situations and it seemed Burnley were always on the end of the cross."

Coppell added: ""We haven't got that sharp edge, I'll be the first to admit that. But obviously we had Les Ferdinand out so I went for a 4-5-1 formation with one eye on Burnley's shape.

"I was fearful that if we played a four-man midfield then they would have to be on top of their game to compete with Burnley's five.

"Burnley are masters at frustrating people and taking points. I think they have fewer defeats than us and I felt that doing something different would freshen it up.

"To a certain extent it worked, we didn't get the result but I was happy with the level of performance, particularly in the second half."
