I'd be amazed if that affected them one iota, tbh. It may have been unexpected result, but Dyche will just keep saying to his team "these lads have no consistency, can't perform away, have to play teams all better than them" etc. I think Dyche and Burnley will still be thinking if they can win a few games, they've got every chance - hence why it's vital for us to beat Leics to prove we can put winning runs when we need to.
Does it really count if they get knocked out in the qualifying rounds? Even we managed to get further than that the season before,Who last tasted European Football Dyche or Everton?
It feels like a corner has been turned now and the results this weekend have given us every chance of pulling clear.
All based off one excellent performance against a poor United team, at home, infront of up-for-it 40,000 fans, all behind the team. Let's go and put 2 excellent performances back-to-back and 2 wins back-to-back for the first time in god knows how long before we start talking about "turning a corner" or survival being assured.
If we can beat the foxes and west ham can beat Burnley, and be 7 ahead with 7 to play, it gives us a great chance (All If's etc as always) , plus Burnley play the saints the day after our game v The Foxes, at the minute the only time us or Burnley have same ko is when we play away to Leicester in May so each other knows each time they ko what has happened - we need to be as many ahead of Burnley as pos for when no doubt we fail to win
Looking at that, if they don’t overtake us in the next 4 matches, I doubt they will the final 4.
To be 4 points ahead of the Relegation zone, is some turnaround, when some may have thought we could have been in the bottom three 2 points behind 4th bottom
It really is.
