MIDFIELD general Tony Grant feels that Burnley have finally found the winning formula.

Back-to-back league victories for the first time this season, over Nottingham Forest and Brighton, have helped to lighten the mood around Turf Moor ahead of this afternoon's home clash with Millwall.

And Grant sees no reason why the Clarets cannot keep picking up the points and pushing for the play-off spots.

He insisted: "Wins do everything for the players and for the club. If you come away with too many draws you can get a bit tentative, but I think that we've finally discovered that belief that we can win games."

Earlier this season manager Steve Cotterill openly questioned whether, in the early days of his reign, the squad had yet forged the mental toughness to turn single points into all three.

And Grant admitted: "It took a while at the start of the season to pick up the wins, but now all the lads are looking up the table.

"With the players we have, we are looking at winning every game we're going in to now and I genuinely think we can do quite well in the league this year - injuries and suspensions permitting and depending on whether we've got money to bring some more players in.

"But the players we already have are as good as anyone and overall, the performances have been really good all season long."

Meanwhile, former Burnley midfielder Paul Weller was today expected to make a shock appearance for Leek Town after joining the UniBond Premier Division outfit on non-contract terms.

Weller, who left Turf Moor last summer after 10-years as a professional and having made almost 300 appearances, recently had a short-term spell with Rochdale, where he played five games.

Brighton-born Weller has since been training with League One side Port Vale, whose manager Martin Foyle yesterday allowed the 29-year-old utility man to join Leek for the next three games to cover a midfield injury crisis.

Weller was scheduled to line up for Leek at West Yorkshire side Ossett's Ingfield home.
