David Jones says Burnley will stay positive in bid to avoid drop

Burnley midfielder David Jones says the squad’s “strong characters” will make the dressing room a “positive place” on Monday.

The Clarets lost their crunch relegation clash with Leicester 1-0 on Saturday, James Vardy scoring the only goal to lift the Foxes out of the bottom three.

Burnley are bottom of the table, five points off seventeenth place, but Jones says they will regroup and be ready for next week's trip to West Ham.

"The last few games, we've just been on the wrong end of that fine line really," he told Sky Sports.

"We've got to stay positive - we've got to go for it. All season we've had nothing to lose in a sense but we want to keep fighting til the end.

"We're still in there, we'll still be giving our all and you'll still see us perform and looking for those results until the end. We've still got four games to fight for.

"We're all human beings and disappointments do hit you and it's about how you respond to it and how long it lasts. I'm disappointed but we all need to get over that and move on because our preparation starts on Monday building towards another big game.

"Your mentality needs to be right and your mind needs to be strong. I know we've got some strong characters that will turn the dressing room into a positive place come Monday morning."
