Burnley fell victim to a Gareth Bale masterclass at the weekend as Spurs found it all too easy to expose Burnley's weaknesses in midfield.

It doesn't get any easier for the Clarets as they welcome Leicester City to Turf Moor next before Arsenal travel to the Turf at the weekend.

As usual Joe Redmond and Simon Townley dissect all things that are Burnley FC as the lads look back at the Spurs defeat, look ahead to the game against Leicester, as well as discussing Lewis Richardson, Neil Hart, and more.

It was supposed to be the run of fixtures that pulled Burnley away from danger.

But after a poor performance against Fulham the lads put in an even worse one against West Brom to leave the Clarets looking over their shoulder.

That, coupled with a tough upcoming run of fixtures, means it will be an interesting few weeks for the Clarets.

It's been a defining week in this season for Burnley Football Club.

Games against sides in and around us has given us a brilliant opportunity to pull away from the dreaded drop zone but also meant that a bad run of results would drag us right back into it.

But after playing two of those games it's so far so good, with a win against WBA potentially pulling us 11 points clear of the drop.

It's been a frustrating wee to be a Claret.

First, we absolutely dominated Brighton at Turf Moor but failed to make the chances count and ended up with only one point to show for it when it should have been all three.

Secondly, despite a fantastic opportunity to progress to the quarter-finals in the FA Cup, Dyche fielded a very poor side and the Clarets ended up crashing out at home to championship side Bournemouth. Needs to be swept under the carpet.

Big three games coming up.

Burnley's two games this week couldn't be any more different. 

The first was an impressive win against an in-form Villa side where the Clarets scored three and looked very good going forward, but that was followed up by a game against Chelsea where Burnley were simply outclassed and had pretty much zero creativity going forward.

Off the pitch though the January transfer window closed with - once again - no activity from Burnley at any point in the month. That, coupled with a couple of articles regarding the way the club was bought, has seen a rise in concern from fans over ALK Capital and new chairman Alan Pace.

What a difference a week makes?!

This time last week we were looking over our shoulder and dreading a visit to Anfield - now, after the Clarets have pulled off a historic first win at Anfield since 1974 we don't dread playing anyone right now!

Cap that off with an impressive win at Fulham which saw the Clarets progress into the 5th round of the FA Cup and everyone suddenly feels a lot better at TurfCast HQ. Now lets get these signings done!

An unlucky defeat against Manchester United has quickly become two defeats in two after a lacklustre defeat against West Ham, but with Liverpool up next lets face it - it's likely to become three defeats out of three.

After that in the league it's Aston Villa followed by Chelsea. This tough run of form could only get worse if Burnley don't buck their ideas up and fast.

The TurfCast lads discuss all this and more in the latest episode of the show.

It's starting to become a familiar theme of the season - Burnley defend well but the bite just isn't there up front anymore, and that was pretty much the story as Burnley lost out to Manchester United at Turf Moor thanks a second half Paul Pogba penalty.

Before that though the Clarets did manage to progress in the FA Cup, just, thanks to a penalty shoot-out win against League One MK Dons - but it was a similar story there with the Clarets looking poor up front again. Is it time to drop Chris Wood?

The lads have the debate, as well as looking both games and the ALK scouting app which Burnley partnered up with this week, before looking ahead to this weekends clash with West Ham United.

Well, what a difference a few days can make.

The Clarets came away from Elland Road empty handed through no fault of their own after a shambolic refereeing performance saw Burnley on the wrong end of two decisions - and that's putting it lightly. 

But just 48 hours or so later Sean Dyche's men saw off the Premier League's basement club Sheffield United at Turf Moor to ensure they bounced back from the disappointment to get the move away from the drop zone back on track.
