"It was only four months ago that I was standing on the balcony in the town centre and all of us were celebrating and the fans were right with us, and within four months that quickly changes. I understand their frustration. This is the world we're in currently. I get it. How the world of football is the instant reaction is to boo..."
"I don't think you can question the commitment of this team. This team are foot to the floor and hugely committed and nothing's changed. The level of hard work, the commitment we put in to be successful last season is exactly the same now. It breaks my heart at the end of the game because we came here today wanting to please our fans and wanting them to support us."
Burnley lost 3-2 at home to Fulham, suffering a seventh straight Premier League defeat and remaining in a relegation battle. Fulham were clinical, with Emile Smith Rowe opening the scoring, Calvin Bassey restoring their lead after Lesley Ugochukwu's equaliser, and Harry Wilson adding a decisive third. Bernd Leno produced important saves while Burnley's defence, crucial in Championship promotion, repeatedly faltered. Oliver Sonne's late goal was only a consolation. Fans booed at the final whistle, prompting an emotional reaction described as heartbreaking. The team maintains high work-rate and commitment despite mounting pressure and previous promotional success.
