While Burnley have become harder to beat in recent weeks, Scott Parker accepts it’s now or never to turn some of their draws into wins.

Despite what would normally be seen as a creditable draw with Tottenham at the weekend, the Clarets fell further behind in the hunt for safety due to results elsewhere.

Parker’s side now find themselves 10 points adrift of safety, having not tasted victory in the league at the last 14 attempts.

But having lost seven straight games prior to Christmas, Burnley have bounced back with an improved run of form which has seen them lose just two of their last eight games in league and cup.

They’re also unbeaten in their last three, having played out draws with Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham.

But it’s still nowhere near enough for the Clarets, who are at threat of becoming cut adrift if they don’t register three points as soon as possible.

“For sure, there’s no denying we’re in that point now,” Parker told Match of the Day.

“It was only four or five weeks ago I was standing here in front of you guys after a Brighton away performance which was bitterly disappointing, because we let ourselves down.

“But we’ve since played Man Utd, Liverpool and now Spurs, teams with huge quality and we’ve improved drastically from that, which gives me unbelievable hope.

“This resilience of this group and the resilience of this team during some serious adversity this year have come through that, but can we now turn these draws into wins? That’s what we’ll endeavour to do.”

Having come within a few minutes of claiming that long-overdue victory against Spurs at the weekend, heads could naturally be down.

But Parker has vowed to fight on and expects his players to follow suit.

"They're disappointed of course,” he added. “They worked so hard, got themselves back in the game, but just couldn't hold on.

"But it’s nothing they've not faced before, so we keep fighting and moving because that's what we are."

When asked if it’s getting harder to lift the players, Parker said: “No, 100 per cent definitely not.

"I'm conscious of that, for sure. Coming out of Brighton after seven defeats and a young group facing certain challenges that they've never experienced before, I was seriously worried about that.

"But you only have to come and watch this team, they don't look like a team lacking confidence or resilience. It was just a bit of a hammer blow at the end there."
