Laws Lays Down The Law!

Posted on: Fri 27 Aug 2010

Brian Laws has challenged his players to clock off unbeaten for next week's international shut down.

The Burnley manager acknowledges that three wins and a draw from the opening four league and cup games represents a solid start to the campaign.

But ahead of the two-week break Laws is warning against complacency, insisting Saturday's tricky trip to Swansea will be their toughest test so far.

The Burnley boss said: "Any team that wants to be successful has to have a good start.

"The last thing you want is to go into the season chasing.

"Because we got relegated and because I was new into the club, it was important to start well this season and get a feelgood factor going.

"We have done that, but we haven't achieved anything yet though, other than as solid start.

"Looking at the first block of games, people were saying it was as tough a start as we could have asked for.

"So it's a good measure of the players' attitude that we have started well and it would be nice to finish off for the international break with another good result behind us.

"It's positive and you can work on the strategy for the next month, when we have seven games in 21 days that will test our squad to the maximum."

Laws, who will again be without Michael Duff for the trip to South Wales, added: "I would say this is going to be our toughest game.

"As each games goes by, we all say the same things, but Swansea were always going to be a tough side to crack.

"Looking at last season, their home form was fantastic, very rarely do they conceded lots of goals and the only Achilles Heel I could see was the fact they didn't score enough goals.

"This year, I don't think there will be any change in the way they play. The new manager has gone in and they have shown they will be tough.

"It will be a good game of football and we have to measure ourselves against another good side."

Don't forget there will be an EXCLUSIVE interview with Chris Eagles on Clarets Player on Friday morning, where the winger explains in full his reasons for signing a new two-year deal at Turf Moor.
