Edgar using Nugent as inspiration at Burnley

David Edgar is using David Nugent as inspiration as he attempts to establish himself at Burnley.

The former Newcastle United defender explained: "We know from the gaffer's reputation that he is not afraid to put players in and if you do well, you will keep your shirt.

"David has gone in, he's scored two goals and you can't do much more than that as a striker.

"He'll be looking to start the next league game, but the other two strikers, (Steven) Fletcher and (Martin) Paterson, have also been unbelievable when they have played.

"It's an inspiration obviously to be involved in Premier League games and that is my main aim. I have to just keep plugging away and hopefully I will get my chance."
