What a bad week for Burnley, with two losses after a little run of good form. I think the very late goal against Reading will have had a detrimental effect on the teams confidence going into the Barnsley game, and we're not famed for our away form at the best of times. We need to get our heads up now and go into the game at Coventry with a positive attitude.
Burnley should be able to get something against Coventry who are one point behind us in the Npower Championship table, but with Burnley, you never know. Overall we have had the upper hand against them and the instability and lack of funds has affected them at the start of the season but that can work in their favour as the team generates a 'backs to the wall' mentality and they showed a glimpse of that as they grabbed a last gasp equalizer against Leeds in midweek.
So I will keep my fingers crossed for a win which would lift Burnley up to 15th in the table (depending on results) and put us in a good frame of mind for the League Cup tie against Cardiff.
Nearly kick-off time now so all that remains to say is...
Come on you clarets!!!
