Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Burnley will always be “a work in progress” in their annual battle to remain in the Premier League. After a run of three successive defeats, the Clarets scraped a 1-0 win over Newcastle on a bitter Lancashire day at Turf Moor that was hit by rain and sleet.
Sean Dyche said “The margins are often tight for us. We’re always a work in progress. It’s not throwing money at it and bringing all sorts in. It’s constant development, it’s little edges, little increments. A lot is down to the players, just their know-how of the Premier League and how they keep getting more and more experience within it. I liked our calmness. People start writing things about bad runs, tough runs, but there was a calmness to the performance, and I was really pleased with that. I said to the players last week (after the game at Spurs), Look, they’re a good side, and we know that. But there was a subservience, and you can’t do that. Even if you know they are a good team with good players, you can’t do that.
