Jackson looks ahead to final game of the season

Mike Jackson praised the work of his squad and the supporters as Burnley secured three points after overcoming Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Turf Moor on Sunday.

Matej Vydra’s strike just after the hour earned the Clarets a second straight victory in the Premier League, which moved Jackson’s men up to 17th position.

Jackson discussed a variety of match topics following full-time against Bruno Lage’s Molineux outfit.

Jackson on the performance:

“I thought we grew into the game, I thought the first 15 minutes, our third game in a week, we put a hell of a lot in so far, so they grew into the game, and they had some good buckets of play, I’ve watched the goal back and it’s a terrific goal.

“It was a great result and a really strong performance, we just tweaked a few things at half-time that we could have done better, then we got the goal and it’s about managing it correctly, and we did.

“All credit goes to the lads and the staff, and the crowd have been terrific, and they kept them going.

“Wolves asked different questions of us all over the pitch, they covered some ground, and we had a few issues with their press, but I thought we had some really good counter-attack opportunities, and I can’t praise everybody enough.

“We put Vyds on that left-hand side and told him to try and stay up against them on that side of the pitch, so it gave us a bit of balance.

“It is a terrific move for the goal. It’s come from Popey, out to Charlie and across the pitch, they don’t even touch the ball, we got it up to Wout and it’s a brilliant finish from Vyds.

“I’m just so pleased for the group, and everyone involved. We’re enjoying the challenge of these games and it’s how we have to look it now, where can we improve and get better and that’s where we want to get to.”

Jackson on team spirit:

“We have a good core, and everything is built on it, the team spirit we have, I wouldn’t swap the team spirit that we have got in this group.

“It gives us a foundation, if you look at the lads at the back, Popey, both full-backs and centre-backs, then Kev coming on late on to sure it up when we had to change formation.

“I always say enjoy tonight, they will enjoy their day off tomorrow but there is still a long way to go, we have just got to stay on top of everything.”

Jackson on the fans:

“The fans were brilliant, especially in the second-half when you’re looking to dig in and give the place a lift, and that’s the bit we will need, and they will come with you.”
