First team coach reviews draw with Albion

Mike Jackson, stepping in to do post-match media duties following Scott Parker's red card at full-time, felt like Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with West Brom was 'disappointing', but says the side must move on and turn their full focus to the weekend.

The Clarets fell behind to John Swift's free-kick in the 20th minute, before a quick reaction from Zian Flemming put the hosts back on level terms just three minutes later.

Speaking after the end-to-end draw, Jackson praised the reaction to going a goal behind and conceding for the first time at Turf Moor since December.

The first team coach explained: "I wouldn't say it's frustrating. I think it's a little bit disappointing, because obviously you want to win all your home games and where we're at at this moment in time, but I thought it was a tight game.

"I thought West Brom came with a game plan, did really well, but I think for us as well, I think it's a good reaction from going a goal down, we respond well and we come back into the game.

"Then I think in the second half we could go on and win it, down the bar near the end, but I think on the whole it's a good point for us, but we look to move on now and focus on Swansea."

Jackson continued: "It's a difficult game, they came with a different sort of set-up to what we were expecting, but we knew they've got good players anyway.

"Like I said, it was really pleasing to have that reaction after going a goal behind, and I thought the lads responded really well.

"It's a tight game, the way the game is, there's a bit of man-v-man in it, they fall into a back-five, so the space is limited sometimes, you just need that little bit more in the final third. Up to now we've scored quite a few goals recently, but today we just couldn't get that final little bit."
