I try to compare teams like us and envisage the result to be about the same.
Before: 2-0

But that was Ulloa to Crofts and Buckley to Ulloa (not the same) and Burnley went down to 10 men.
It looks like Burnley are a really hard working side that have a defence that does not make mistakes, a very good keeper and an attack that does not feature much but seem to be quite clinical in approach play from accurate long balls and set pieces, with Vokes good in the air and Gray quick and good on the ground.
They score early and late in the game.
However, the biggest way to go wrong wrong is to miss good scoring chances for the home team.
I saw Burnley win 1-4 at Derby, and Derby were the better side apart from four comical moments in their defence. However, Derby are slower than the Albion at getting the ball forward.
The way to beat them is to match them for hard work (I think they play 4-4-2) and then let the superior skill get the goals. And not make any errors.
They rate their own two central defenders especially Mee. Comfortable on the ball.
I think I would play possession football from the start and keep the ball. This being the best form of defensive play.
NB: Burnley have got a few charcteristics apart from Gray scoing at a rate 70% per game, like scoring from set pieces, winning penalties, not getting caught in possession of the ball (top of the Championship for that). So it looks like we cannot pick off errors. Going have to score through individual skill.
I still can't make up my mind.
