New Burnley man Steven Reid has spoken of his lack of surprise at the impact Sean Dyche has had at Burnley since taking over as manager.
Reid, 33, played alongside Dyche at Milwall, and he believes that the Burnley boss has carried over his attitude on the pitch to the Turf Moor dugout.
"From the moment he came in at Millwall you knew that he was going to go on and have a future in coaching and management," Reid is quoted as saying by Pendle Today. "He was very unfortunate to lose his job at Watford when he did, he did a fantastic job there and rightly got back into football with the opportunity at Burnley.
"I'm sure he surprised a lot of people outside the club but I'm sure there's no one who has met him and worked with him that was surprised with the job he's done, the way he goes about his business and gets that group togetherness. Certainly for the first couple of months I've been involved it's not surprise to me what they did last season.
"You get what you see, his character is what I remember as a player, getting on to the younger lads as I was then and I think he's brought that into management as well. He leads by example, everyone has bought into what he does as a manager and you can see that with the results."
Burnley currently sit second bottom of the Premier League with three points from five outings.
