NOT a bad first result, considering we haven't worked together or trained together for more than seven days because of the injury situation.
Considering how the second half went it was a fair result. We got our noses in front in the first half and played really well considering we've not been together for so long but the second half was a different story.
The first 20 minutes or so after half time, we just didn't cope at all. We were on the back foot and didn't get going and that was disappointing.
But, in the cold light of day, we threw together players who were strangers to each other and hadn't played together very much and that can make life difficult. That showed tactically from our point of view in the second half when Glen Little came on and turned the game. I don't think we coped with what Burnley were doing. We lost our shape and our passing.
After that we had a couple of chances, which we might have made count but overall a draw was probably a fair result and a point's not too bad.
We did very, very well in the first half which pleased me because I thought the start of the game was going to be problem for us.
We put 11 players together and told them at quarter to two how we wanted them to play.
We didn't have much more time than that to get them prepared so I was delighted to see us looking so comfortable in the first half.
We can make excuses about players being missing but when we've played like we did in the first half when we looked as though we knew what Burnley were about, we should have been able to do our jobs better than we did in the second, especially from a defensive point of view.
Our back three had looked very comfortable, under no pressure whatsoever then, in the second half, for some unknown reason or other, they stopped doing the things they were doing before - marking men correctly, not letting people run off them.
They went into that switch-off, sit-back mode and that's something we'll have to put right.
The atmosphere was fantastic and we would have liked to have finished a little bit stronger - the way we had started - and sent the fans home happy because they'd turned out in their thousands, which was nice to see.
