Parker on no new injuries, 'very positive' squad morale & Fulham return
Burnley boss Scott Parker has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham at Craven Cottage (15:00 GMT). Here are the key lines from his news conference: Parker confirmed he has not lost anyone to injury this week: "Ready to go again. Had a good training week, a little bit longer preparing for the game.
We have had no new injuries, fully prepared and had a good week. " On a draw against Bournemouth last time out: "A point we can build on. The clean sheet and performance generally was good.
We dominated in the first half and had we scored it could have been different. There were some positives. Obviously at this stage we needed to win, but we did enough in aspects to do that.
" Parker was asked about the importance of staying mentally strong: "That's the biggest challenge now. The atmosphere is very positive in and around here really and that won't drop. Morale and the general feeling at moments can be tough because of the dynamics that we face, but that has never really been a problem here.
When you come into training you see a group that is very bright and constantly trying to improve and get results. " More on staying positive: "Over the course of a long season it's something you need to be aware of as a coach, whether that's a little bit more rest at certain times to freshen the mind. For a lot of teams it's about the mental side of things and how fresh you go into games, because it has been a long season.
