Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits there is “no guarantee” he can keep morale up as his side’s Premier League struggles continue, but is sure nobody at Turf Moor will shy from the challenge. Burnley walked away from Saturday’s 3-0 home defeat by Chelsea at the foot of the table having taken a solitary point from their first six matches, a concerning run of results compounded by an injury list that has exposed the depth of Dyche’s squad. Self-belief has never been a concern in the club’s five-year stay in the top flight, during which the Clarets have routinely defied expectations, but Dyche is taking nothing for granted.
Sean Dyche said “There’s no guarantee to that, but we work hard on that side of things, We want the players to be confident but confidence is a tricky thing and it’s a state of mind as much as anything. The reality is we are in a tough situation and we never shy away from the the truth. It’s a challenge, all the things going round this club at the moment are a challenge. But our job is to try and stay focused on performance. We tried to stay focused (against Chelsea) but they are a very good side. Part of you says that’s how it should be with their investment and the quality of players but we’ve competed with these sides before and we’ll have to do it again because we have to play them all. Ben plays a fantastic part for the group and has done for many seasons, but we need him right, I’m never going to throw people in when they’re not ready. We need him as fit as we can, as quick as we can because he’s been a very good player for us.”
