Where do we go from here? Burnley are still bottom of the league and go into the first international break as the only team in the Championship without a win this season.Saturday’s match was more of the same. Nicky Hayen had called it a “must-win” on a couple of occasions, but his team did not perform like they wanted to save his job.The team selection at least had players largely in their right roles, with half a dozen changes from the last XI, one of those forced by a minor knock to Largie Ram

The draw at Wrexham in midweek had some positive signs for Burnley, but that hope was swiftly extinguished with the Clarets shooting themselves in the foot at Swansea.One point from two trips to Wales leaves Hayen’s side bottom of the Championship. All those tweets about ‘HMS Piss the League’ are starting to look even sillier now…As has been the case for much of the season, Burnley were architects of their own downfall at Swansea.

Watching Burnley has been hard work a lot of the time over the past three seasons, even if there were memorable moments during the Scott Parker promotion year.At the Turf yesterday, I found myself… actually enjoying myself? It was… fun? Strange! Burnley shot out of the blocks like a rocket and Zian Flemming was close to putting us in front in the first minute, turning Jacob Bruun Larsen’s cross just over the bar.That positive start continued and the Clarets continued to push up the pitch and pla
