10 Massive Positives For Burnley This Season

3. The Wins

"Sometimes you have to be at the bottom of the valley to be able to appreciate the view from the top of the mountain," said Sean Dyche before the first win. Heads have never dropped. Spirit and belief have never evaporated and the reward came with the first win of the season against Hull City. Steve Bruce blasted his team€™s poor performance, but it was Burnley€™s football that made them look so poor. They were slick, organised and fluent and this was another game when they could have scored three by halftime. It was game that was dominated by Danny Ings, who then inspired the second win at Stoke. This mercurial player has taken time to find his feet and goals have been hard to come by. But in the Hull game he was here, there and everywhere, quite clearly man-of-the-match, and the double against Stoke means he's up to 3 for the season. He also scored twice in the England U21 win over Portugal at Turf Moor, and it looks like the floodgates might open.
