BURNLEY interim boss Mike Jackson said he felt “a little embarrassed” at being thrust into the spotlight as the Clarets’ revival continued with a 2-1 comeback win at Watford.
Mike Jackson said: “I’m not one for the limelight. I try to keep low key and just do what I’m doing – stick with the group, keep them honest. I don’t look at it like that (getting plaudits). I know that’s what’s happening but sometimes it probably makes me feel a little embarrassed for myself.”
Jackson explained that Tarkowski, who captained the side in the absence of Ben Mee, had only joined up with the squad on the morning of the match for family reasons.
Mike Jackson said: “We were down in the hotel (on Friday night). He got picked up, got driven straight down, put on the bus and straight in the game. That’s his character – what he’s done to get himself here and ready to play. That typifies what he is, what sort of leader he is. For the lads to see him, they knew what had happened, credit to him.”
