We asked for your views on Tuesday night's EFL Cup match between Burnley and Derby.

Here are some of your comments:

Sam: Mike Tresor back from the wilderness and providing the killer ball in the time of need. Let's hope he doesn't disappear again.

Peter: Back to the pass sideways and backwards of the Kompany era. Not much of a threat between the two goals, but they were very well worked goals. Don't understand why Parker kept Edwards on, he was worse than poor.

Ray: Good workout for the fringe players plus the annual Mike Tresor 10-second cameo with the assist in the winning goal.

Graham: Burnley fielded a scratch team with very little game time amongst most of the players and it showed. A low-key performance demonstrating little urgency but showing some nice touches leading to both goals. A decent, solid performance overall.

Burnley boss Scott Parker, speaking after Tuesday's 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Derby:

"Overall, I'm pleased. Pleased with us coming out and winning the game and getting through to the next round.

"It was a good opportunity for a lot of the players to get some more minutes in their legs, for sure.

"It's still really early stages of the season - two games in really in terms of the league and a lot of these boys for different reasons, some making a debut tonight, some coming back from injury, and some boys who have probably not had a lot of minutes since pre-season.

"So, it was a brilliant opportunity to get some minutes in their legs, and I'm pleased with that, and everyone seems to have come through that.

"Then overall, pleased that we go through to the next round.

"We started the game very, very well. Obviously, well worked goal, and then the game at times becomes a little bit sticky. A real disciplined team in a low block, and we probed really, but just lacked a little something in the final third.

"I think the winning goal for us probably summed up the sort of level of detail we needed. It was a lovely ball through the lines, a nice set from Barnsey and then a really nice bit of quality from Mikey as well.

"When you're playing against teams like that, you probably just need that little bit of quality to try and unlock it and that was pleasing.

"We had the quality in the end."

Whether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.

It feels a bit early in the season to be talking about six pointers, doesn't it?

But when you're in a likely relegation battle and you need to win at least nine games to have any hopes of surviving, a home tie against Sunderland is probably in "must win" territory.

Sunderland were obviously coming into this game on a high, after comprehensively wining their opening game against West Ham. But it would be naïve to read too much into those early results, as flip those fixtures around and Burnley are likely sitting on three points too.

The number one aim for the weekend was to stunt Sunderland's optimism because confidence can often be the 12th man in critical games. Let them beat us, and we've got a mountain to climb.

The most pleasing thing about the performance was the confidence with which Burnley controlled the game. Reverting to four at the back, we had more of a presence in midfield and weren't as exposed as we were against Spurs. It also feels a waste of Kyle Walker to play him in a back three: surely you take advantage of one of the best right backs the league has ever seen and create some chances?

But, for now, the Clarets have passed their first test of the season. Eight more wins to go…

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Burnley and Sunderland.

Here are some of your comments:

Burnley fans

Graham: Burnley played much better football in last week's defeat but showed the resilience required to survive in the Premier League. Two excellent goals displayed our resolve, and emphasised that we can make Turf Moor a fortress. That there are players still to come into the team and contribute makes me optimistic.

Reg: Burnley got away with one... defending was below Premier League standard, especially in the first half.

Gareth: Huge result that should give us some confidence for the tough-looking fixtures to come. Excellent game management after we got the first goal, showing organisation and resilience that was horribly lacking in our last season at this level. Promising signs.

Sunderland fans

Jeff: Sunderland always flatter to deceive - maybe it was the 'unknown' factor with the Hammers, but Burnley know how to beat us.

Clive: I thought beforehand this would be a trickier test than last week. Losing Ballard early on didn't help. Huff and puff seemed to be the display.

John: Last week, everything clicked. This week, nothing clicked.
