BBC Final Score at Turf Moor
"No fear, we go all out, no regrets" is the message from the Burnley boss Vincent Kompany in today’s match programme.
It’s remarkable how different the mood is here since my last visit to Turf Moor in mid-March. That’s when they beat Brentford as part of this impressive run of just one defeat in eight and the fans around me now genuinely believe that a great escape is possible.
Today it’s Newcastle's relatively poor away form that’s giving the Burnley supporters I’ve been speaking to hope that they could get what would be a massive win. Kompany wants a raucous atmosphere and I think he’ll get it.
