Laws calls on Clarets to learn
urnley manager Brian Laws has called on his players to learn from their mistakes after they twice squandered the lead at Sheffield United.[LNB] Two goals in five early second-half minutes had put the Clarets in control of the Championship clash, with Dean Marney and Chris Eagles finding the net.[LNB]Sheffield United rallied, though, and hit back through Daniel Bogdanovic's first goal for the club and Ched Evans' deflected effort.[LNB]Burnley looked to have sealed the win when Jay Rodriguez's 90th-minute strike restored their lead, only for Mark Yeates to cap a man-of-the-match performance with a sweet strike from the edge of the area and earn a 3-3 draw for the Blades.[LNB]Losing the two points was a bitter pill for Laws to swallow on his return to Sheffield, where he managed across the city at Wednesday.[LNB]And with Burnley still without an away win this campaign, he knows his side cannot afford a repeat if they are to achieve their promotion target.[LNB]"Any manager would say if you're 2-0 up away from home you expect to go on and win the game," Laws said.[LNB]"I don't think anyone could have seen how the game was going to pan out.[LNB]"If we want to do well in this division we have to come away from home and finish games. When you're 2-0 up you want to win games but I thought we lacked a bit of organisation and leadership.[LNB]"We defended too deep, it felt like the defenders were playing behind the goalkeeper at one point.[LNB]"I'm very disappointed and the players know that. Sheffield United work hard and if you give them a sniff they will take it.[LNB]"We know what we want to achieve this year and this is a big lesson to take on board and I don't want to see it repeated."[LNB]Sheffield United manager Gary Speed was pleased to see his side take a point, although he was unhappy that they found themselves in need of the late rescue act after pulling back to 2-2.[LNB]Former first-team coach Speed has endured a tough start to life as a number one, with his side unable to muster a win in any of their last four games.[LNB]And he knows a winter of struggle could be on the cards if they keep finding themselves in such precarious positions in games.[LNB]"I'm feeling a mixture of frustration and anger and pride," Speed said.[LNB]"Losing two goals after half-time wasn't good, but to get back to 2-2 saw great resolve and commitment which was great.[LNB]"We then let another one in which was criminal and there's no excuse for that, but great attitude again to get a third.[LNB]"But you can't keep climbing mountains and slide down and expect to climb up again. But if we show the commitment we have then the luck will turn to us."
