Burnley finally got a win last Saturday when we beat West Ham 2-1 at the Turf, and it was two of the new signings, Leon Cort and Danny Fox, who impressed alongside captain Clarke Carlisle. Leon Cort - won the player ratingsCort, making his second appearance for the Clarets after a debut the previous week against Chelsea, won the player ratings on the message board whilst debutant Danny Fox was the man of the match winner.Fox, who had an assist with the first goal and scored the second with a stunning free kick, polled 49.0% of the man of the match vote and that was way ahead of Cort who came second with 19.0%. Carlisle took third place with 9.8% of the vote.The same players were in the top three in the player ratings although in a different order. This time Cort was the winner with a rating of 8.03 out of 10. Carlisle took second place, and his rating was 7.84, and just behind him a rating of 7.83 out of 10 was good enough to give Fox third place.That meant five points for Cort towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year, four points for Fox and three for Carlisle.The points made no difference to the table which still sees Chris Eagles at the top, 13 points above Steven Fletcher who himself has a 13 point lead on Andre Bikey in third place.Voting continues for the man of the match at Fulham until the end of today.The Current Table60: Chris Eagles47: Steven Fletcher34: Andre Bikey32: Tyrone Mears30: Brian Jensen23: Clarke Carlisle15: Stephen Jordan14: Wade Elliott13: Kevin McDonald11: David Nugent10: Graham Alexander & Michael Duff8: David Edgar7: Leon Cort6: Fernando Guerrero5: Chris McCann4: Danny Fox & Joey Gudjonsson2: Robbie Blake & Diego Penny1: Steven Caldwell
