Dyche confident of end to Clarets’ away-day blues

Travel sickness has been a plague on Burnley this season, but Sean Dyche believes he may have finally found the medicine to stop the rot.

The Clarets head into the weekend with just one point from a possible 30 on the road, admirably coming at Old Trafford in a 0-0 stalemate against Manchester United back in October.

That form has been the polar opposite of their form at Turf Moor, with only Swansea, Arsenal and Manchester City taking victories from the North West, while Hull City also escaped with a draw.

But nine wins on familiar soil has made the threat of relegation irrelevant for Dyche’s side, now hoping to kick on with results rewarding of their performances away from home.

“We are going well and I’ve been really pleased with how we are doing,” he said.

“Of course, you are measured by results, but underneath that I have been delighted with the work the players are putting in on the training ground, to take on the challenge.

“We’re growing and looking more assured and although that doesn’t guarantee you the next result, it gives you a better chance when you have the freedom to play.

“We have taken on every game, and it’s only maybe the first three away from home where we didn’t really grasp it, whereas now we are really taking on the games.”
