Charlton manager Chris Powell saw his side go a goal down to a Charlie Austin howitzer just before half time and then pile on late second half pressure without being able to breach the Burnley defence.
Powell reflected on the problems they are having winning home games. He said after the game: "We've tried a lot of different things and it's a shame because we made it such a difficult place to play last year. It's another level now, and it's a level that can be quite unforgiving and can be quite tough.
“You have got to make your own luck at times and I think things aren’t dropping for us and when they do the opposition get blocks in or we don’t hit the target. It’s just those things, and them close calls that are just not dropping for us at present.
“I felt the performance was good from the players; they really stuck at it and tried their best, especially in the final third, to make things happen. They did but we came across a side that were resilient in their defending.
“Their keeper made one or two good saves and we missed the target once or twice. We really have to keep going and the remaining five home games and remaining 11 games do our best to turn it around.”
Speaking about the second half, he added: “There was a bit more urgency about the players and I asked them to do it. In the first period it was a little bit end to end. Obviously we were beaten by a wonder-strike, but in the second period of course we were in the ascendancy and created more chances and that was helped by the impact of the two subs.
“We came across a keeper that made some good saves and we missed an open goal. I feel we should definitely have got something from it but sadly again for us here it wasn’t to be.
“The half-time message was for more urgency, more quality and the players certainly showed that. It’s not easy to play on that pitch but I felt we dealt with it better today. We asked questions of them, and they answered them sadly for us.
“We needed to put them on the back foot and certainly did that. I think Burnley only had one chance in the second half and really we need to do that against teams, especially at home."
Dyche was thrilled with the performance from his team. “That’s the best win of my managerial career to date," he said.
"Not because of the run we’ve been on, but because we’ve had five key injuries, Kieran Trippier was ill in the night and nearly didn’t play and a debutant who only turned up at the hotel late on Friday night.
I’ve asked the group to man up and they did that fantastically well. We played terrific football in the first half on a very poor pitch and then, in the second half, nothing could stop them. There were a number of poor decisions against us and a team constantly raining balls into our box, so to deal with that was terrific.”
He continued: "When you are having an awkward run things go against you and today everything did. We had a goal disallowed that was not offside and some really poor decisions against us on that pitch.
“So to show all our qualities to win the game is fantastic and it was a goal worthy of winning any game. We have all been questioned recently and Charlie is no different, but he is a proven goalscorer; it’s as simple as that!
“I believe in all the players here and, for a player who is still only four seasons into his career, and only his second in the Championship, he has stood up again today, along with all the lads.
"We have a young group. Two of that back four had played 25 games between them and it's fantastic to see them putting in that type of performance.
“We’ve got that monkey off our back and we’ve all felt that weirdness of having a little run without a win, but that’s gone now, so we can move forward, look to get our injured players back fit and regroup to be strong again.”
