A daunting fixture now for the Clarets, as they faced the undefeated league leaders, who before this match where 9-0 in terms of wins and losses in the league. This was to be brought to an abrupt halt when the Clarets attacked shined and a 4-0 success sees them climb out of the bottom of the league and into 11th place(Table to come at 13 games).

This win was hailed as an impressive attacking display, but the defense played its part, clearing any corners and freekicks that came their way, allowing the attackers, and in particular Phil Compper, our German tank, to shine. Compper is now on 3 goals in 2 appearances for the club, after signing on a free transfer to help bolster the squad ranks. If he continues this fine form he may be in contention to stay on longer term.

A good start to the return to management. The team have had their win bonuses revoked for this season as the club seeks to build a new financial foothold after expending a lot of resource into rebuilding an ageing team. At the time of writing the team now has 12 retiring players, with 12 players who are on 2-3 year contracts at the club.
