But the assignments don’t get any easier, as John Mousinho’s men travel to the north west to take on another fancied contender at Turf Moor.
The defensive issues are abating but it’s the striker department where the concerns now lie, with Colby Bishop, Mark O’Mahony and Kusini Yengi all sidelined.
So much for Mousinho to ponder against the Clarets - here’s how we think his side will line up.

14. Sub 2: Ryley Towler
Was the man to miss out on Sunday, with Towler likely to see for a place on the bench again. Could well have a role to play, however. | National World
15. Sub 3: Zak Swanson
Four starts so far and never has a bad game, but suspicion is Williams will be favoured in the event of former Barnsley man being freed from central role. Photo: Jason Brown
16. Sub 4: Abdoulaye Kamara
