RLB has warned his side that they need to be ruthless if they want to keep up with their rivals at the top of the table. This claim came after Burnley thrashed tomorrow's opponents, Plymouth, 5-0 on Wednesday and killed the game off before half time.
NO ROOM FOR SLIP-UPS
“The pace at the top of the table is very impressive at the minute. We need to prove that we can be in that bracket. It’s tough because you have to win, win, win. Maybe you can draw or lose in one game, but then you have to win, win, win again to regain momentum. That is our next goal now – we have to prove that we deserve to be in this part of the table."
KEEP IN THE RACE
“You look at Burnley the other night, and they did so efficiently, winning 5-0 at Plymouth. Four big chances, four goals. That shows that team is ready to be in the final sprint. We have to show that we are able to do the same.”
IMPRESSIVE HOME RECORD
“Any team in this league can beat any team, so it’s still tough. It is a new opponent and a new scenario, but a good opportunity for us to move forward, especially at home, where we have been good so far. At the same time, though, we need to earn the points.”
THINKING ON OUR FEET
“I like the team’s ability to find solutions in real time. It is a sign of the best teams – when you can find the solutions yourself on the pitch rather than wait for half-time when you can maybe be shown some clips or get the opinion of the coaches. We are able to adapt now. If we could do a bit quicker, that would be even better, and if we could create chances a bit earlier, that would be better. But in the three previous games, we have been good.”
