We currently lie on the shoulder of the play-off pack. One club always makes a late break and secures their spot in the end of season lottery. We need to make it us.
Plymouth tomorrow is a massive match. They occupy the space in the league directly above us, and defeat could leave us 7 points adrift.
There is no reason why we can't go there and win. The mood around the club is buoyant, following the amazing comeback at QPR and all the right noises are coming out of the club.
Andrew Cole is likely to miss out through injury but Ade Akinbiyi hasn't let us down yet this season. Ade has received a lot of stick from some Burnley fans, but personally I think he could yet have a big impact. Cole and Akinbiyi is a forward partnership that would worry any defence at this level.
This week we've also had great news on the injury front. The Duffman may be back in action in a month and Clarke Carlisle is nearing match fitness. We have missed Carlisle's pace at the back at times and this week he has been praising the quality of the squad.
Congratulations also go out to Duffer for the birth of his first child. Well done fella.
Back to the game tomorrow, and the Clarets are expected to line up with no changes apart from Akinbiyi coming in for Cole. I predict a 2-1 win for Burnley with Akinbiyi and Blake netting.
