Sean Dyche has stressed that Burnley must keep on moving forward and not get complacent despite their position in the Premier League table being "easy on the eye".
The Clarets sit sixth in the standings with seven wins from 14 games after Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Bournemouth.
Dyche believes that his players are reaping the rewards of hard work shown both on and away from the training ground but insists that they must keep "building on it".
"It's good on the eye for the fans," the 46-year-old told Sky Sports News. "It means nothing to me, it's a season's work, it's always been a season's work for me, but it is easy on the eye for the fans, that's for sure.
"There's a nice feeling about the group. I think they're getting the benefits of some very good work on the training pitch and good work as a group. We're still earning the right to belong in the Premier League, but we're doing a good job so far of that.
"This season really is about can we go and build on last season? Can we achieve more than we did last season? We are certainly in line for that at the moment. We've had a very good period from the start of the season to now - it's safeguarding that, building on it and continuing to look to move it forward."
The Clarets finished 16th in the table last term.
