Transcript

00:00Just heading out of Pride Park where Burnley had played out in 0-0 draw.

00:06A result we've seen quite a few times this season, 12 times to be exact, but not seen in a while.

00:12I think the first 0-0 draw and over-nil since February, the precedent at Deepdale.

00:18Yeah, but probably in hindsight it probably is a point game the way the game transpired.

00:23Burnley started well, had three good chances in the first half an hour or so.

00:27But after that it sort of went a bit upside down.

00:30Derby, they made it the game they wanted. It was a battle, it was ugly.

00:33It was balls in the box, long throws, corners.

00:36Direct but really effective, no criticism whatsoever.

00:39John Eustace is a very good manager, knows what he's doing.

00:42And they're writing the mixer, relegation scrap, so they had to fight for everything.

00:47And we've had that Burnley come away unscathed in terms of not conceding,

00:51not the clean sheets, not beating.

00:53And with Sheffield United losing at Millwall, it's not a bad night.

00:57It could have been a lot worse.

00:58I see Leeds win, they take the top spot.

01:00But yeah, Burnley remain 28 in Breton, 29th clean sheet.

01:05And they stay in the top two, and the gap is still two points to third.

01:07So all nor nor a bad night ahead of Norwich on Friday.

01:11.
