Burnley boss Sean Dyche is delighted with his team's current morale.

The Clarets have lost just three of their last 11 games and have moved to 12th in the Premier League and into the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Victory over non-league Lincoln City at Turf Moor on Saturday will book a quarter-final for Burnley for the first time in 14 seasons.

“There was only one team that I've been in when there wasn't that real under-pinning of that unity as a player," Dyche told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

“I was promoted four times with four different clubs and there was only one that really got by on talent.

“The rest, underneath the talent and organisation, had a unity and a belief in the team. The team always got put before the individuals and that's always a powerful thing I think.

“I mention it a lot in the sense that it doesn't always guarantee you everything that you want but it gives you a whole better chance. The way that I work is to enhance your chances of being successful, whether it's you as an individual, the team, the group, the staff, the club.

“I think it gives you a better chance of being successful if you have that unity and alignment, if everybody is aligned with what the task is and how we get there. I think that's a key thing."
