Laws wants no comforts for Blues

28 January 2010 17:17
Laws says that despite a minor makeover this season the changing areas have barely changed since he was a player at the club 30 years ago, and Burnley have to use every advantage when the table-toppers from London come to town on Saturday.[LNB]He said: "We have got to use every element we can, use our home advantage and hopefully we can make it uncomfortable for them.[LNB]"It there is a bit of hail, a bit of rain and a bit of wind then for us the weather will be perfect.[LNB]"They will not relish coming here - not many teams will.[LNB]"The dressing rooms have not changed since I was a player, even the colours are the same.[LNB]"I wouldn't say they were unpleasant. Don't get me wrong, we are not in the dark ages here.[LNB]"We have got light, we have got electricity, we have got a bit of warmth - but they are in our dressing room not in theirs![LNB]"If I see any signs of negativity when they walk in I'll be rubbing my hands."[LNB]Laws has strengthened his squad this week by signing central defender Leon Cort from Stoke and former Manchester City keeper Nicky Weaver who was a free agent after being released by Dundee United.[LNB]Both players are likely to be in the match-day squad against Chelsea along with Andre Bikey, who has returned from international duty with Cameroon in the African Nations Cup.[LNB]Graham Alexander is likely to be out with a calf strain but Chris McCann should shake off a knee injury.[LNB]Burnley have not won in 10 matches and have dropped into the bottom three, but Laws believes that could focus the players' minds.[LNB]He added: "You have to taste that and when you do, it's not nice and you work harder to get out again.[LNB]"We know what we have to do - we have nine home games, our home record is fantastic and we are more than capable of getting the wins we need.[LNB]"Chelsea are a fantastic side, very fluent and who play attractive football, so we have got our work cut out."[LNB]Cort, brother of former Wimbledon and Newcastle striker Carl, moves from Stoke where he endured huge frustration at his lack of first-team action - and spent most Saturdays doing the supermarket shopping rather than sit in the stands watching the team play.[LNB]Cort said: "My Saturday afternoons were spent shopping in Tescos and I didn't want to be doing that.[LNB]"We had to report to the stadium on the day of the match and then when I saw the team I didn't stay around - it was too hard to watch the games week in week out knowing that you could do that as well but were not being given the opportunity.[LNB]"This is a new start for me and I'm relishing it."[LNB][LNB] Chelsea Finish Top & Burnley Finish Bottom.
