Sean Dyche: 'Points more important to Burnley than performances'

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has suggested that he is still looking for improvements from his side, despite being happy with the club's current points total in the Premier League.

The Clarets have registered 11 points from 10 games since their promotion from the Championship and sit four points clear of the relegation zone, but Dyche has described his team's performances as "okay".

The 45-year-old told Sky Sports News: "The performances have been okay, they've been good enough to get the points that we've got.

"I wasn't overthinking it back then, we weren't getting the results but I thought we were performing reasonably well. We are acutely aware it is a results business.

"It's fine margins, and ever more so in the Premier League. We're looking more solid as a group this time around. Maybe not playing as effectively all round as we were last time out but we've got considerably more points on the table."
