Robin s defender Tamas Vasko hit the only goal of the game midway through the second half, prodding home Michael McIndoe's free kick.

But in truth, Burnley dominated both in terms of possession and chances, as they once again failed to convert a plethora of opportunities.

Ade Akinbiyi was the main villain, hitting the post on no fewer than three separate occasions.

But as it was, Burnley remain without a victory at Turf Moor, not only since Owen Coyle's arrival as manager, but since the visit of Norwich back on October 23rd.
