BRIAN Jensen is willing to hold up his hands and admit the display against Norwich was the low point of his season.

But the under-fire Burnley keeper insists he is not battling a crisis of confidence.

Jensen, who bore the brunt of the blame for last weekend's 5-3 home defeat to Norwich, said: "It was a bad day at the office and the lowest point of the season for me, that's for sure.

"When the kamikaze stuff started, some of the things that happened in front of me didn't help.

"But as a goalkeeper, I know that if I make a mistake it's going to cost us. As the last man, you need to be big enough and strong enough to get over it and continue.

"I am going to do that and I will promise the fans that it's not going to happen again."

Jensen, whose form throughout the season has, at times, mirrored the Clarets roller-coaster campaign, added: "There's no crisis of confidence.

"You clearly get a bit down after games like that, when you get a deserved rollocking off the gaffer.

"But I will take it on the chin and bounce back. I still can't explain how I could play so well against Bradford one week and be the hero, then play so badly against Norwich and be the villain.

"My preparation was perfect and I just have to put it down to one of those days. But I am still smiling and it's just one of those things that you have to get over.

"The fans have been great with me all this season and, as people have seen several times, I am going to bounce right back."

Jensen is now ploughing all his efforts into a clean sheet at Walsall to get Burnley off to a flying start in their Easter double-header.

And they received an early boost last night when fellow strugglers Rotherham United and Gillingham both lost their First Division games.

The Gills' 3-0 home defeat to Wigan leaves them level on points with the Clarets while Rotherham, who went down 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace, remain two points ahead, but Stan Ternent's side has a game in hand on both.

Burnley's remaining seven games appear, on paper, to provide one of the easier run-ins compared to many of their relegation rivals.

But Jensen knows that will count for nothing unless the entire defence can get back to the resolute form they displayed at the turn of the year.

The Danish stopper said: "The story of the whole season has been giving stupid goals away and if we can cut that out, we know we can pick up a few good results in the next couple of games.

"Walsall are similar to us. They are not a bad side, but they have been down there for the past couple of seasons, so they know what it's all about and it's going to be a tough game.

"But after last week, the team needs to bounce back and so do I."

Burnley Reserves are in action in the Pontins League tonight when they entertain Huddersfield Town Reserves at Turf Moor (kick-off 7pm).
