I'M no goalkeeper, but I still like to think I can judge a player.

And in Brian Jensen, I see a player who right now is fighting his own demons. One week the Beast can be the hero, the next he seems a pale shadow of the imposing presence he can - and should be.

Maybe it's no coincidence that you usually get a few murmurs from your own crowd when things are going against you.

But as a professional footballer, you have to put things like that to the back of your mind and focus on the matter in hand.

Brian is a colossal figure between the posts and I know, from a striker's point of view, that faced with him I wouldn't be too keen to contest too many 50/50s!

A player of his size should be coming to take crosses and taking out absolutely everything in his path, especially since the laws as they stand protect goalkeepers to the hilt.

These days, if you challenge them for a header, the result is invariably a free kick in favour of the last man.

All of which makes me think Brian is going through a little confidence crisis at Turf Moor. At Bradford, by all accounts, he was simply unbeatable. Now he needs to find the inner-strength to cope with a fair, but demanding and fiercely passionate home crowd over the coming weeks.

Certainly Saturday's defeat was a blow, albeit not as crushing as it could have been.

You always harbour hopes of turning teams over at home, but Norwich was always likely to be the most difficult home game remaining.

Scoring three goals and still finishing on the losing side tells you all you need to know about Stan and the boys' present predicament.

But solace can be sought in the fact we are not going to face another Norwich in the last seven games.

I think it's still the general consensus that Burnley possess too many quality players to go down and the time has now come to stand up and be counted.

Walsall away and Watford at home equate to two games we should be looking to win. Walsall possess something of a talisman in Paul Merson, and Bescot Stadium is far from our happiest hunting ground.

Last weekend's superb win at Derby will also have given the Saddlers a vital shot of confidence ahead Saturday's game.

But avoiding a defeat there, and then beating Watford on Easter Monday, is the absolute least we should be looking for.

That would put us within touching distance of that 50 points total that might yet prove to be enough.

Derby remain rooted in the bottom three, meaning Walsall's win was not necessarily the nightmare scenario some people think.

No-one wants to be dropping into the relegation zone with games running out and the upcoming double-header is next big step towards survival.

Don't let us down now lads!
