Transcript

00:00 Hi I'm Burnley FC writer Matt Scrafton and here's all the latest news and headlines

00:05 involving the Clarets. Vincent Company's men have faced a pretty last-minute rescheduling

00:10 of a fixture and a pretty big one too at that. They were due to face Luton Town

00:14 next Monday night at Turf Moor in what is fair to say is probably a must-win

00:19 fixture for Burnley. That's now been brought forward by three days after the

00:23 Hatters have held to a draw in the FA Cup meaning they must face Bolton in a

00:27 replay. So yeah the fixture now takes place on Friday night at Turf Moor and

00:31 remains a televised fixture. We've also got further analysis and reaction to

00:37 Friday night's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in the FA Cup. Another frustrating defeat

00:42 although obviously the priority is league survival and this enables them to

00:47 focus on that completely. It was another game where Burnley played well and

00:51 probably deserved more, at least a replay I would suggest. But yeah that's

00:56 as Vincent Company has said, that's the next stage of their development. They need to

00:59 turn the games where competitive and they're creating chances into results on a

01:03 more consistent basis starting fingers crossed with Luton on Friday night.

01:08 Obviously it's January as well which obviously means one thing, that's the transfer

01:12 window and as you've seen so far there's already plenty of rumour and

01:15 speculation and I'm sure that'll continue for the rest of the month. So we'll keep

01:19 you abreast of all those latest developments and bring you the latest

01:22 news as we get it.
