Burnley will struggle to stay up after Wigan burst their bubble
By Stan Collymore

I can’t help thinking Burnley’s defeat at home to Wigan has burst the Clarets’ bubble.
Prior to losing to the Latics, Burnley had won all four of their home League games.
Yet now that proud record is over and with Owen Coyle’s side struggling to win away, I do fear for the play-off winners.
What essentially might keep Burnley in the Premier League is their home form.
But their 100 per cent record has gone and with it their air of invincibility too.
Now conceding three at home to lose 3-1 to Wigan is a massive test of character.
And I am really looking forward to seeing how Burnley cope.
