Talk about a reality check for Burnley. Last season they knew nothing but winning. They finished top of the Championship with 101 points. Now they can hardly buy a win.<\/p>\n
After losing 3-0 at Brentford, the stark reality sets in. Seven defeats in their opening nine matches for the first time in a top-flight season since 1888-89 and 23 goals shipped \u2014 the second-highest in the league this term.<\/p>\n
Things look bleak. Manager Vincent Kompany, however, believes the lowest moments can produce the biggest inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018My learning from being with teams at this level is you\u2019re never far away from getting that real togetherness that gets you results,\u2019 he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018You have top teams who can lead the individuals to sort things out. For us it\u2019s a collective challenge.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Vincent Kompany’s side have leaked 23 goals so far this season, and need to change things around<\/p>\n

Kompany’s side face an okay run of fixtures next, facing sides like Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United.<\/p>\n
However they still face big challenges with a trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal and then facing West Ham at Turf Moor still to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kompany remained positive however, insisting: \u2018I have very a strong feeling about these type of moments. They define you as a human being. You\u2019re at your highest high and you get success \u2014 can you still be together?\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘What I like about this group is we\u2019ve always reacted to these moments and we have to do it again. It\u2019s a different level and we\u2019ve got to level up.\u2019<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Brentford look on the up, but it\u2019s taken until late October for Brentford to get going \u2013 and with games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal coming up \u2013 this win could prove to be pivotal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
