Elliott untroubled by away form

Burnley midfielder Wade Elliott insists the team do not feel under pressure to start picking up away points as they prepare to take on Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Despite making an excellent start to life in the top flight with three wins in their first six games, all the league success has come at Turf Moor and they are yet to earn a single point on their travels. Elliott admits the team's standard was not good enough in their opening day 2-0 defeat at Stoke and the comprehensive 3-0 and 4-0 beatings they suffered at Chelsea and Liverpool, but thinks it is a little early for the alarm bells to be ringing just yet. "We've lost the games but we are probably more disappointed with the performances than the results," Elliott said. "We knew to get anything against the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea we would have to be at our very best and even then there is no guarantee that you are going to pick up points because they are the best of the best. "But I think we may have performed a little better than we did in both those games and maybe made it a little bit tougher for them. Performance-wise, we'll look at the videos, take our lessons, see what we can improve on and hopefully implement that against Tottenham. I don't think we'll get too hung up on the fact we haven't got anything away from home yet."
