What a game! It just shows how much confidence a win or two can put into a team, and what that confidence does!
I've been very critical of 2 people this season - Alan Irvine and Chris Brunt. Regarding Alan Irvine, it looks like he may prove most of us wrong - are we beginning to see what JP saw in him? I hope so! And Chris Brunt, fair play to him today, he kept his head up, worked hard, put some decent balls in and got himself into some decent positions.
My only complaints:
1) When Burnley bought Sordell on, our defence got sloppy, maybe because they weren't expecting his pace? But even so, against another team that sloppiness could have cost us 1 or 2 goals.
2) Dorrans looks like he's afraid to cross. Today he didn't need to as he was allowed to hold up the ball and play the short ball to either someone who could cross or shoot (e.g. Berahino for 3rd goal) or use his technique to walk into the box and nearly score himself! But again, against other teams, not crossing could have cost us valuable chances.
