BOSS DELIGHTED WITH WIN

Posted on: Sat 16 Aug 2008

Town boss Jim Magilton was understandably delighted with his side's performance as Blues won 3-0 at Burnley.

Goals from Liam Trotter, Kevin Lisbie and an own goal from Stephen Jordan gave Town the points after a parachutist landing on a stand at Turf Moor delayed the kick-off for 50 minutes.

"It didn't help either side, the delayed start," said Jim. "Players are ready to go at 3pm and then have to start all over again an hour later.

"It took a while for both teams to get going but the first goal gave us a platform to build on and when Kevin scored the second, it gave us some breathing space.

"We've been ahead at Burnley before and been pegged back so it was important we made ourselves difficult to beat and that is something we have to do for another 22 away games.

"We dug in, had moments of good play as well and everyone worked their socks off. Alex Bruce was fantastic for us, Ben (Thatcher) did well on his debut and the two lads in the middle at the back were very solid. It was a terrific win and it sets us up for Wolves next week, which will be a big test for us."
