Jackson looks ahead to Saturdays clash with Villa

Mike Jackson speaks on this weekend’s home game against Aston Villa, keeping on the right track and praises the Clarets support

Jackson on the collective:

“It’s nice, but it’s about the whole group continuing doing what we’ve been doing over the last couple of weeks. They are the ones that go out and play the games, there’s a lot of people involved in doing what we’re trying to do and what we’re trying to achieve.

“It’s all about a group of people working hard trying to achieve something. We know what we need to try and do.

“There’s work to be done. We’re in a good place as a group but it’s about what we need to do next now.”

Jackson on Aston Villa:

“It is odd when you’ve not played a team so far at this stage of the season. Villa are a good side, they’ve got a good manager and a good set of staff.

“Again though, it’s like any team in the Premier League. They’ve got strengths and weaknesses, you go up against each other trying to combat that, nothing changes in terms of that.

“They’ve got some quality players, we know that, and it’s about us being right on the day attacking those moments. That’s what we’ve done so far.”

Jackson on maintaining focus:

“We know that if we keep picking up points, then we’re going to be moving in the right direction. The big thing for us is finishing above that red line however it comes.

“That’s all that matters, that’s my whole focus. Performance, one half of football and keep improving.”

Jackson on the Burnley fans:

“You only have to look at the response from the fans in the home games and in that away end [at Watford] the other day. They’re a special group.

“We’re really proud and lucky that we’ve got them with what they’ve done for us so far. What we need from them moving forward is more of the same. If they can keep bringing that, it’ll be superb for us.”

Jackson on the ‘purpose’:

“We know how much it means to everybody, to the fans and to the club as well. We’re fighting to try and achieve that, that’s our purpose. Sometimes if you haven’t got a purpose, you’ve got nowhere to go.

“This group has got one so that’s what we’re fighting to do.”
