THERE is a slogan that perfectly encapsulated Burnley’s remarkable rise to the Premier League last season: ‘Our Town. Our Turf. Our Time’.

The ‘Our Town. Our Turf’ element had been used by the club’s marketing department for a couple of years, but as Sean Dyche’s side swept almost all before them, turning pre-season predictions of a relegation battle into a promotion procession, it truly was ‘our time’ as far as the Clarets were concerned.

Those heady spring days of 12 months ago are already becoming distant memories, but with 10 Premier League games to go it is time for new memories to be made, and for everyone to unite over the ‘Our Town. Our Turf. Our Time’ theme.

Half of those final 10 games are at Turf Moor, and for the Clarets to have a fighting chance of pulling off that miracle of survival they will probably need to win at least two, and perhaps three of them.

But those games aren’t easy, with Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal the next visitors to the Turf, followed by fellow strugglers Leicester and the increasingly impressive Stoke City.

It’s home form that has let Sean Dyche’s side down this season, with only two victories in 10 Turf Moor matches against teams outside the elite top seven.

There hasn’t been a great deal to cheer recently in a limp defeat to Swansea and leads thrown away to West Brom and Crystal Palace. But now it is time to pull together and make Turf Moor a fortress for the final two months of the campaign.

On paper the fixtures against reigning champions City and Champions League chasing Tottenham and Arsenal are away victories, but with a raucous atmosphere inside Turf Moor, backed up by the high intensity pressing game that has been missing from some recent performances, then the Clarets could spring an upset.

Mistakes have been made this season, on the pitch and perhaps most crucially of all, off it, with the failure to strengthen in the January transfer window only highlighted further when Dean Marney suffered a serious knee injury a week later.

But it’s time to put those grievances to bed for a couple of months and unite once more over the cause of Premier League survival.

The failure to take more points off the lesser sides in the league means Dyche’s side are going to have to do it the hard way, but there is no reason that they can still drag themselves to safety.

Strange things happen in the final quarter of the season. Let’s not forget Sunderland’s run a year ago, when they had looked doomed for most of the season.

They won away at Chelsea and Manchester United.

It is that sort of turnaround Burnley can take inspiration from as they look to put City, Spurs and Arsenal to the sword at Turf Moor.
