STEVEN Caldwell believes one win will change the outlook on the rest of Burnley's season.

The Clarets' bid to end an 18-game winless run was put on hold for two weeks after defeat at Preston North End due to international fixtures.

But with back-to-back home games against Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle on the horizon, captain Caldwell and co are desperate to end a wretched sequence of results.

Luton, under new management following the appointment of Kevin Blackwell to replace Mike Newell, are the visitors to Turf Moor on Saturday in what is widely viewed as a six-pointer', with the Hatters struggling in the relegation zone four points adrift from safety and five points behind the Clarets.

But Caldwell is convinced one win will be the catalyst for a strong run-in in Burnley's remaining nine games, six of which are at home.

"Once we get that win I'm sure the results will flow," said the defender.

"You have to give that little extra to do so (tip results the other way) and really fight hard to get that victory. I totally believe that once that comes the rest will just flow and we'll pick up a good few wins."

A relegation battle is not new territory to Caldwell, who finished bottom of the Premiership with Sunderland just a season after promotion.

It was a different situation for the 26-year-old as the Black Cats struggled throughout the 2005-06 campaign, picking up only three wins from 38 league games.

Burnley, meanwhile, have been in freefall since recording their last win at home to Leeds on November 28, with Caldwell arriving partway through that run when he signed on transfer deadline day in January.

But the skipper believes the Clarets have got enough fight to avoid the drop, and he is keen to fire the goals to ease their relegation worries.

"I had a successful spell when I was last in the Championship with Sunderland," said Caldwell, who is hoping to have recovered from a shoulder injury he sustained at Preston in time to feature on Saturday.

"I can't quite seem to get a goal just now, a bit like the team can't quite get a win. A lot of it's to do with luck and hopefully once I get one I can start to get two or three this season. But at the end of the day my job's stopping goals and I want clean sheets.

"I don't really care who gets a goal or what part of their body it comes off as long as we can get the victory.

"I just feel that if we keep knocking at the door and keep giving 100 per cent that one game, hopefully Saturday, the luck will just change and we'll maybe get a couple of decisions that we shouldn't have got and that will give us the victory that we need."
