The more established of the young players such as Earl Davis, Andrew Waine and Joel Pilkington have been left out for recent games although it is believed that Pilkington is injured. This has enabled others such as Steven Richardson and Sean Blakey to stake a claim for a regular place in readiness for next season.
Burnley's last game was a week last Saturday against Shrewsbury, a 2-0 win we reported at the time and the league results from that date have been
