00:00 Just making my way out of Turf and Wood here, with Burnley just being beaten again at home, this time 2-0 to Bournemouth.
00:07 After really dispiriting poor performances against Arsenal and Palace, Burnley needed to show something today, a bit of fight, a performance, a bit of a show on for the fans, a bit of flight and intensity and we got that.
00:20 Burnley's performance was much better today, controlled the game in general, controlled possession, created numerous chances, I think it was 19 attempts in goal they ended up with.
00:30 But it was the same old story really, failed to score one, failed to take any of their chances and ultimately the game was decided by the first goal which came in the 13th minute.
00:40 It was up to some really poor defending, hesitant defending, failed to clear the ball and then Bournemouth added a second later on, on the counter with Burnley, we were sort of hoping for a late equaliser.
00:52 Some possess we've taken in terms of performance, we've finally got something to cling on to, but in terms of result it's the same old, same old really now.
01:00 So it's still 11 points off safety with only 11 games to go now, so it's a long, long season and it's on to West Ham away next weekend.
