Clarets boss Stan Ternent will not rest until his side are safe - though he is not that uneasy about Burnley's plight.

One point from their trip to Millmoor tomorrow, or any slip by Walsall at play-off chasing Crystal Palace, will book the Clarets' first division place for another season.

And Ternent is confident that the mission will be accomplished.

"We want to be mathematically certain we are still in the first division as soon as possible," said Ternent.

"Maybe we can get that at Rotherham tomorrow, and maybe we can get a little more there as well.

"We usually have good games against Rotherham, their surface is good for football and they are in a similar situation to us - so it should be a good game.

"But I am sure that their manager, Ronnie Moore, will be feeling his side can sort themselves out.

"On the face of it it is all about Walsall and, from our view, we would have to lose both our matches and Walsall win both of theirs for them to stay up.

"All we can do is get the point and get the job done."

The Clarets boss has already admitted this has been one of his most challenging as a manager - hampered by a cash crisis that has meant a threadbare squad has constantly needed to be propped up by a succession of loan signings.

But one thing Ternent has carried with him throughout the campaign is an unswerving confidence that his players would dig deep to ensure survival, something almost achieved thanks to the back-to-back home wins over Wimbledon and Derby.

He added: "The players have had a good couple of games in our last two, but I have always been confident in the players we have.

"It has been a long hard season, but after out two recent wins, there is definitely a spring in their steps.

"But winning football matches will always lift them.

"The Wimbledon and Derby games were big matches for us, but we have a bit of fun and when we have to work hard we work and I have always felt that we have got the quality."

Burnley's injury worries have deepened ahead of the final away game of the campaign at Millmoor.

Striker Ian Moore will not renew hostilities with Dad Ronnie, missing his fourth successive game with a knee injury.

That means hero of the hour Graham Branch - who has scored in each of his last two games as an emergency striker - is set to again deputise.

Moore joins Tony Grant and Dean West on the sidelines following confirmation that both players' season is effectively over.

Ternent said: "Ian won't make it, although he is actually not far off being fit. Dean is in a similar position, but at this stage of the season there is no reason to risk players."

While safety remains the priority, Ternent will be looking forward to his side again putting on a performance that will further prove they are putting some of this season's ills behind them.

He said: "Basically we have had to work on eliminating the unforced errors that has led to us conceding too many goals.

"While we have been scoring, we have let in over 70 goals and we have been a bit of a soft touch this season.

"Fortunately we have had enough quality in this side to get us out of trouble."

Much of that quality comes from the boots of striker Robbie Blake, whose 22 goals have been instrumental in racking up the points.

And the Clarets joint-record £1m signing, who is stuck in a rare barren run of four games without a goal, knows another strike at Millmoor would go a long way towards making a tense afternoon a whole lot calmer.

Blake said: "Last week was massive for the club. Both the home games were must-win, but we are not mathematically safe yet, so we've got to keep our heads down and make ourselves safe.

"We've got a tough game on our hands at Rotherham and it's probably a must-win game for them because they still have their own relegation worries.

"But it's a game we feel we can win, although I think everyone would settle for the point we need and then we can relax in the last game of the season against Sunderland."

Blake's heroics have not been enough to secure inclusion in the PFA first division team of the season, which was announced last weekend.

But boss Ternent had words of consolation for the former Bradford striker, who has been forced to play second fiddle to his first division goalscoring rivals.

Ternent said: "Robbie has scored goals, but the PFA went with Andy Johnson of Crystal Palace and Rob Earnshaw at Cardiff, which is fair enough as they have both got goals.

"But Robbie is a quality player and he has done so well for us this season."
