Burnley resolve pleases Dyche

It may have been their second 0-0 draw in just four Premier League games, but Burnley boss Sean Dyche was pleased with the strength shown by his players in their stalemate with Middlesbrough this weekend.

His side have bounced back from a run of eight games without a win by beating Stoke 1-0 and then drawing with struggling Boro.

And despite failing to find the net, Dyche was pleased with the point that saw his side move up to 12th and eight points clear of the relegation zone, with just six games to play.

“We’ve been a bit stronger this year because of the base that we put in two years ago to the club,” he said.

“You can never guarantee it until it’s done. I think our focus is on every game as it comes, we’ve maintained that with the players, it was a big week this week with three games and to pull four points out of that is pleasing.

“There’s still more work to be done because you want to take care of your own business, and we’ve given ourselves a good base position to do that.

“The focus now is on taking each game as it comes, staying on the front foot, and trying to take on every team that we play against.”
