Burnley boss Sean Dyche feels that his side have proved people wrong by battling themselves out of the relegation zone following their 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers.
The Clarets failed to win any of their opening 10 games in the Premier League, which left them in a perilous position at the bottom of the table.
However, Dyche's men have found their form with three recent wins at Turf Moor, including a 2-1 win over QPR thanks to strikes from Scott Arfield and Danny Ings.
Dyche told BBC Sport: "Credit to both teams, the weather was atrocious. The ball was going all over the place. I thought we did slightly better, created good chances. Their keeper has made some fantastic saves.
"We've been in good shape all season. I'm not trying to fool anyone. This group is open-minded, trying to challenge themselves in this division. I'm really pleased with how the players are going about it.
"Most people had us down as needing snookers by Christmas. We don't. We've been performing well, not always getting what we thought we deserved. You look at the goals we're scoring - Scott Arfield's today, if Alexis Sanchez scores that, it would be shown 100 times over the weekend."
Burnley are 16th in the table following their victory.
