We're still hungry and thirsty to get more wins

Lambert has been busy today dealing with the fall out following the resignation of his assistant Roy Keane but yesterday he spoke of the defence that will be on duty at Burnley that did so well in midweek against Southampton.

Jores Okore and Ciaran Clark played in the centre of defence and he said of them: "The two of them were excellent. If they keep that standard of football up, it gives you the problem when the other lads are fit. The two of them the other night were fantastic for us."

He confirmed that he is likely to field the same defence as turned out for the Southampton game and then, presumably, went looking for another assistant manager.

Dyche confirmed that nothing has changed since the two wins, that we have exactly the same challenge that's been there all season. "We made a fantastic habit of winning a lot last year, but the challenge changed quite simply and it became a lot tougher this season," he said.

"I felt wins would come though and I don't think we've been a million miles away. The performance levels had generally been good and there had been positives to take. I don't think we were over thinking the start we had.

"We know there's a reality to this tough division. We're learning, we're trying to improve and we are improving.

"We had to make sure that performances turned into wins. We've done that for two games, but it has to continue. One win doesn't cure anything and two don't either. We need more and we're still hungry and thirsty to get more.

"The point is you've got to win the next one. If you don't, you've got to reorganise and revitalise and try to win the following one. There can never be any better incentive than winning. All the rest takes care of itself. Our main journey is to win as many games as we can.

"Now we've got two home games coming up which we're looking forward to. We can only take one at a time though and the one game mentality of last season has never been more relevant. "

For a while there was a lack of goals, but we have been finding the net recently. He added: "Goals come in different ways. The thing that has changed in football and one I've spoken of with the players and publicly at times is the thirst to score a trendy goal. For me you've got to just score a goal, however they come.

"I was equally pleased with Danny's goals against Stoke. He was in the right place and showed clever movement and good timing of movement for the second one, but the first one was just about being alive in the box and that's as important as any goal.

"I think the best goalscorers do that. They don't look for trendy goals. They will whip a sublime finish into the top corner or slot it past the 'keeper one-on-one, but they will equally score a toe poke or one of their knee.

"We speak a lot to the players about that sort of thinking. Of course, it's about the right quality, but also being in the right place and having the killer instinct to score, no matter how that goal comes."
