Burnley boss Sean Dyche happy with Wigan draw

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was pleased with their 2-2 draw against Wigan Athletic.

Dyche's side led at the DW Stadium through goals in the opening 10 minutes from Jay Rodriguez and Dwight McNeil.

He said: “In the early part of the game I thought we were excellent.

“We had total control of proceedings in the right way, against a side who did well last season to stay in the Championship. You could tell they are game ready and we are not far off.

“We still have two weeks to go and we are locking in those minutes, and we haven't really gone into a game yet fully prepared because we work hard during the week.

“Some of our play was excellent and we scored two really good goals, but also it was good in terms of sharpness, which we know is coming.

“We had a couple of horrible moments in the first half, which changed the flow and led to the goal and then in the second half it became a bit more topsy-tursy, but we need the minutes in the players and so the shape lost itself a little.

“But there were still some really good signs and certainly in terms of sharpness and the detail."
