Burnley 1-1 Wolves: Sean Dyche and Kenny Jackett reaction
Saturday 19 March 2016 19:00, UK
Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists he is not close to hitting the panic button despite seeing Wolves snatch a late 1-1 draw at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.
The Clarets looked set to be heading for a seventh-straight Sky Bet Championship win as Sam Vokes' fourth goal in three games in the second half separated the two sides.
However, in injury time Danny Batth rose to head home a corner from substitute Nathan Byrne and earn Wolves a share of the spoils.
Despite not holding out for the win, Burnley are now on a run of 15 games unbeaten and they lead the Sky Bet Championship by four points, with Dyche remaining defiant in their bid to return to the Barclays Premier League.
"It was a really close game and credit to Wolves, their game plan worked quite well," he said.
"They hit the post in the second half and then we had a couple of maybes, but generally in those situation when you go in front at that stage, you should be seeing the game out.
"Overall I thought we edged the game. We were close in the end, but there was no cigar. People need to remember that despite our position, nobody comes here just to lay down and roll over.
"Nothing ever comes easy for us here or when we're playing away from home. That's something that we all have to learn in life.
"Things might have gone against us a little today, but it's hardly drastic times is it? We're still clear at the top and we're still on a long unbeaten run.
"As long as we don't put too much pressure on ourselves then we'll continue to be OK. There's pressure everywhere in football, but we're not feeling any here."
As for Wolves, they are now three games unbeaten and manager Kenny Jackett felt his side deserved their late show at Turf Moor.
"We played our part in the game and I thought we deserved something out of it," he added.
"Burnley are a really good side and they started well in the opening 10 or 15 minutes, but we rode it through and were right in the game at half-time.
"I suppose at the end of it you've got to decide whether it's a glass half-full result or a glass half-empty. It's definitely the first one for me because there were a lot of good performances out there. We definitely didn't deserve to lose.
"Our players showed a very good attitude, but we all have to remember that finishing is such a huge part of football.
"We had chances here, and we didn't take them. That has to be better and it's something we will be working on during the week.
"We have to be a bit more incisive in certain situations. We lacked that cutting edge a little bit here, but I'm certainly not complaining about the result."
