THE key moments and player ratings from the game against West Brom

BURNLEY

BRIAN JENSEN: Big Dane had an emotional return to his former club and had no chance to emerge the hero thanks to some deadly finishing 7

LEE ROCHE: Given a torrid time early on by rampaging wing back Neil Clement, but never gave up the fight and emerged with credit 6

DAVID MAY: Tough debut for former Manchester United ace, but showed signs of toughening up the back line before visibly wilting late on 7

GRAHAM BRANCH: No nonsense defending at times, but finally buckled as Albion turned up the heat 6

MO CAMARA: Always eager to provide an attacking edge and held his own down the left in the face of a second half onslaught 7

A MOORE: Needs to be more involved in the game instead of lurking on the wing waiting for things to happen 6

PAUL WELLER: Needed more steel alongside him during a titanic battle in midfield alongside James O'Connor and Jason Koumas 6

TONY GRANT: Must start imposing himself on opposition more, or faces a long, hard season 6

LUKE CHADWICK: Starved of possession until he went hunting for the ball. Pressed a few panic buttons in the Baggies back line 7

GLEN LITTLE: Struggled until he resumed his wide role as Burnley threw caution to the wind. Then began to pose all the usual problems 6

ROBBIE BLAKE. Once again led the line admirably in the absence of Taylor and Ian Moore and fully deserved his goal. STAR MAN 8

SUBS: Chaplow (A Moore 62) 6, West (Roche 78) 5.

Subs not used: Gnohere, O'Neill, Scott.
