But the Northern Ireland international knows he must find the net on a more regular basis having come off the bench to end a three-month goal drought and earn the Clarets a 2-2 draw at Peterborough on Saturday.

"I will possibly have to shoot Charlie to get a game if I'm honest, which I've contemplated!" Paterson joked.

"It's up to me to score more, I'm disappointed with my tally but I'm working away in training and working very hard to rectify that.
