BEN Mee believes Burnley will be in the promotion picture with more performances like their last two home games.

The Clarets have recorded back-to-back 4-0 wins at Turf Moor to reinforce their position in the Championship’s top six, despite their away day woes.

Burnley have won only three times on the road this season, and not since beating bitter rivals Blackburn Rovers in the derby on October 24.

But they are proving a formidable prospect on home territory, with eight wins from 12 games.

And while Sean Dyche’s side have struggled to pick up points from top half teams, with half of them still to play at Turf Moor - starting with Saturday’s visit of Ipswich Town - Mee expects a turnaround in 2016.

“It’s a big game for us and we’ll look to put in another good performance,” said Mee of the weekend game.

“We’ll look to build on Monday and hopefully get another good result.

“We’ll definitely go into it confident. We’ve got a good squad and we’ll give it a good shot as always.

“Obviously if we can replicate that (the last two home games) we’ll be up there or thereabouts.

“We’ll look to go on again in to Saturday and build for the New Year.

“It’s going to be a good run in, it’s going to be a challenge and we’re looking forward to it.

“We’ve played quite a lot of the teams that are up there away from home. They’ve still got to come to us and that might prove the difference.

“We need to beat the teams around us as well but these games (against struggling sides like Charlton and Bristol City) are just as tough. They’re as dangerous as the teams that are up and around us.”

Mee, who has played predominantly at left back in his Clarets career, was moved to his favoured centre half position to partner Michael Keane, with Michael Duff on the bench to rest a calf problem as one of three changes to the line-up.

As well as starts for David Jones and Michael Kightly in midfield, Stephen Ward came in at left back, and the defensive shake-up could not have gone better with Burnley recording their eighth clean sheet of the season.

“Keeping clean sheets is a good sign and banging in four goals is an even better sign,” said Mee.

“Everyone did well. It’s not easy to come in and play a full 90 minutes when you haven’t been in the team. They’ve come in and put on a good display which shows how good pros they are. Their fitness levels were up there.”

Of his centre half role, Mee added: “I enjoyed it massively. I’ve not played there for a while. I like playing there. Wherever I play I’ll do the best I can.

And the defender was pleased to atone for their Boxing Day blow at Hull.

“Everyone wanted to prove something and put Boxing Day behind them. They wanted to get a good result, which we did,” he said.

“It wasn’t a great display on Boxing Day but we put it right and we’ll look to do the same on Saturday.

“I don’t know what went wrong at Hull. We didn’t seem to get it together.

“They scored, we go chasing the game a bit, missed a couple of chances at 1-0 and could’ve got back in the game but we didn’t. They ended up scoring two more while we were chasing it.”

Burnley have not lost from a winning position this season, but equally they have not won after going behind. However, Mee insists there is not a psychological hurdle to get over to correct it.

“It’s definitely not psychological. We are decent at coming back from behind - we did it at Cardiff recently,” he said of last month’s 2-2 draw in South Wales.

“Going behind isn’t a factor for us - we’ve got the mentality to come back.”
