Burnley anxiety caused by poor decisions - Parker

Burnley manager Scott Parker says an anxious atmosphere around Turf Moor during their goalless Championship draw against Derby County was caused by poor decision-making.

The Clarets had a frustrating setback in their automatic promotion aspirations after they failed to breach the Rams' defence in a game short of attacking quality.

Despite the result, however, Parker's side third in the table, are unbeaten in seven games and only two points off leaders Leeds United.

"I felt it in the stadium - I'm sure the players did as well. I'm really conscious of that and I'm trying to explain to them about their emotional state," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.
