Asked what his plan was, after a somewhat busier few days than he had been expecting, Burnley interim boss Mike Jackson laughed: “I'd like to say eight pints!”

And I don’t think he’d struggle for Clarets fans willing to put their hands in their pockets, after the job the Under 23s manager has done since the tumultuous events of Good Friday.

Preparing for a game with his young charges, before receiving the call from Alan Pace to take the first team for the trip to West Ham, after the shock of the sacking of Sean Dyche, Jackson has given his all to the cause, along with his team of Paul Jenkins, Connor King and first team skipper.

He has joked he has seen more of the press pack than he has his family since, going through three pre-match press conferences, as well as his duties after games, while throwing in hours of preparation on and off the training pitch, studying videos of opponents and previous Burnley games for any tactical tips.

Jackson has handled himself impeccably, with good humour as well, despite the uncertainty and lack of clarity over the immediate and longer term managerial plans.

It’s fair to say he’s had a big impact in the dressing room as well.

While there is a group of experienced professionals who have been somewhat self-policing for some time, their togetherness has been amplified by the circumstances, and their belief boosted by the way they have united and the results they have gleaned over the week.
