00:00Just making my way out of Turf Moor here where Burnley have eeked out a hard earned 1-0 win against Plymouth Argyle.
00:08A game they really should have won more comfortably. Made hard work of it in the end, dominated the first half.
00:14Played really well to be fair, deserved lots of credit for the performance, created a lot more, more urgency, better tempo.
00:20But just the one goal from a penalty spot from Josh Brownhill, his fourth of the season already.
00:27But yeah, just couldn't put Plymouth to bed, had their chances, but again that final ball, that final shot was just lacking.
00:34Second half, pretty uneventful, Burnley not quite as adventurous in attack.
00:40Plymouth had a couple of moments, it got sort of unnecessarily awkward and nervy towards the end.
00:47But Burnley ultimately deserved the win, it's just a bit frustrating they made harder work of it than required.
00:54But back to winning ways after Saturday's joyous Oxford, Plymouth have beaten Argyle up to second.
00:59So plenty of positives and Park will be happy with lots, but there are still improvements to be made.
01:05Hopefully we'll see some of that on Saturday when we're back here against local rivals Preston North End.
