Parker on Andrews, resilience & 'bringing others' into relegation fight

Burnley boss Scott Parker has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Brentford at Turf Moor (15:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• On a win at Crystal Palace and draw at Chelsea in the Clarets' last two games, Parker said: "It's done a lot really. Some real positive results. We're in a good place and the players feel that and certainly round the place as well. We need to maintain that now, we have a massive game at the weekend where we want another result."
• On the relegation battle: "There's always challenges and there's been many this year. We're trying to take stock of every game as it comes. We've been able through a real determination and unbelievable resilience to pick up points and be hugely competitive really. There have been some bumps but the mindset and everything about us has been spot on."
• Parker said: "The difference between us and the other two promoted teams is home form. Our home form has been nowhere near as good and we certainly haven't picked up enough points at home for many reasons and you can see that in the last few weeks in terms of the stadium and our performances."
• On giving the fans something to cheer for: "Our home stadium needs to be exactly that. It's our responsibility to give our fans that hope and energy but for sure we're gonna need them as well. I hope the fans come with optimism and understanding of what this group has been through and how they've come out of that. I'd like to hope, well demand actually the fans come and get behind this team."
• Parker issued a rallying cry before the weekend's match: "It's a massive game for us. Let's bring some others involved into this [relegation battle]. We've been chasing this down for some time now, and been in this position a long time, and we've always had our gloves on and been punching away. At times we've not really got a knockout and at other times we've hit the floor but we're always in this. Let's stick together and go and get a result at the weekend. Get a result and suddenly it's a different story and others get bought into this."
• How has he viewed Bees boss Keith Andrews' start in management?: "Massively impressed. I know Keith pretty well - he's an intelligent guy and somebody who has earned the right to be at his level. This is someone's who put in the had yards. I have huge respect for Keith and he has done a fantastic job. I look forward to seeing him at the weekend and having a chat."
