Clarets boss Stan Ternent is in a privileged position ahead of tonight's clash with Huddersfield Town - he has a fully fit squad to choose from.

That is the first time this season that he has enjoyed such luxury and assistant manager Sam Ellis admitted: "We have no injuries to worry about and when you are working with the small size squad that we have got, it is great to have everyone available."

The news that the physio's room has been cleared of senior pros means that midfielder Paul Weller could come into the reckoning for the second round Worthington Cup clash although, having not played since the last round against Blackpool, it is more likely he will have a role from the bench, if any at all.

Ellis also said that right back Dean West will be fit despite limping off with the tight hamstring that restricted his training last week.

Ternent's number two insisted that the mood in the camp is very positive with the club on the back of a long unbeaten run and having avoided defeat right through the last month.

"I think that we have won four of our last seven, drawing three and that is a good run," he explained. "But we also know that whatever you do, you could do better although things could definitely be worse.

"We are improving and the gaffer is a lot more pleased with the way things are going."

And Ellis has no doubt about what has helped to turn things around at Turf Moor following the nightmare start of losing the first four League games of the season.

"It is all down to the character of the players," he said. "Before anyone comes to the club the gaffer makes sure they are the right type of people."

He was full of praise for the whole side after the victory over Wimbledon at the weekend, not least the efforts of the four front men who have been alternating all season.

Once again all eyes will be on the front pairing that Ternent opts for with Dimitri Papadopoulos and Ian Moore the unlucky pair missing out on a starting placed against the Dons with Robbie Blake and Gareth Taylor starting.

Moore and Papadopoulos were second half subs and Ellis said: "They all came on and did their part in what was a good team performance. I know it was only 1-0 but it could have been more but it did get a little bit edgy towards the end.

"Lee Briscoe did well in midfield along with Tony Grant but it was a team effort and everybody did well for us."

And despite the Terriers lowly position at the moment Ellis is expecting a typically tough Roses battle.

"They have got a good side but things are not falling for them at the moment," he said. "We know what that can be like but when you look at it they have got an experienced side on paper. But we can't worry about that, we have to get on with our own job."

That job is making sure an unbeaten run of seven becomes eight and the Clarets are in the hat for the third round draw on Saturday afternoon.

Gordon Armstrong also could find himself on duty on the bench, providing possible keeper cover for Marlon Beresford after Nik Michopoulos's loan move to Crystal Palace.
