Sorry slump leaves Hayen with serious questions

Burnley sit rock bottom of the Championship table but is that immediate cause for concern? At this stage of the season, some may argue not. But what will absolutely concern Burnley fans is the sheer amount of goals they are conceding per game: 16 in seven games. The Clarets currently have the worst defensive record in the Championship. The manner of the goals conceded at Swansea City raises further alarm bells. Two defensive errors gifted goals to Adam Idah and Moussa Yeo in the first half in south Wales. Clear mistakes. New boss Nicky Hayen has the challenging task of getting a group of new players to gel – 17 of which were playing under different head coaches last season. But he is under immediate pressure having not won a league game since taking the helm. More worrying though, Burnley have not been victorious in any league encounter in 214 days. The question for Hayen now? How does he pull Burnley out of a slump which has haunted them since long before Premier League relegation last season.
