Molesley delighted with progress of Burnley loan players

Burnley U21 boss Mark Molesley is delighted with the progress of their players away on-loan.

Midfield pair Ben Whitfield and Matt Butcher featured in Yeovil Town's barmy 3-3 draw with Exeter City on Saturday, while Harry Cornick made his return to competitive action with a second-half outing for League One Gillingham against Peterborough.

Whitfield and Butcher were part of a Yeovil team that raced into a 3-0 second-half lead against Exeter, only to surrender their advantage in the game's closing minutes.

"That was great for them," said Molesley to the Daily Echo. "They got to play in a big game – a derby in League Two – in front of a big crowd and they will take a lot from it.

"They were both influential in the match. And hopefully they will learn about game management from what happened at the end – that is what they are out there for, to be put in those type of scenarios."
