Dyche: Burnley need more quality in attack

Sean Dyche hailed his Burnley side for earning a point at Middlesbrough but admitted they should have won the game and taken all three.

The Clarets looked to be heading for a relegation fight a week ago, but victory over Stoke followed by a goalless draw at Boro has quashed those fears.

Burnley have been impressive this season, but have scored just 32 goals this season – something they will look to improve on going forward.

And Dyche knows they threw away another glorious chance at Boro, with Robbie Brady hitting the cross bar with a free kick.

“I thought we were very resolute throughout to be honest and perhaps the one gripe I have of my side is that we get in some fantastic positions and lack that one moment of quality,” he said.

“It was a hard-fought point. A lot has been made of them having a hard run but we know how difficult it is here.

“They are a good side who we knew would have to throw caution to the wind and we came strong in the second half, so in the end I think it was a fair result.

“Robbie (Brady) has nearly scored with two good free kicks and Tom (Heaton) has made a terrific save in the second half from their big chance.”
