Burnley: This year's Reading or Hull?

After an uninspiring loss away to Stoke City on the first day of the new campaign, Burnley have won successive home games against Manchester United and Everton, no small feat. Not a whole lot is expected of them since they are the playoff champions, and they only finished fifth in the Championship last year.

The question now will be play like Reading two years ago and not be troubled by relegation or will they be like Hull City, starting strongly and then collapsing in the second half?

I don't know for sure, but I can say one thing about Burnley: I like their coach, Owen Coyle, a lot better than I do Hull's Phil Brown.
