BRIAN JENSEN is urging supporters to lighten the load by roaring Burnley onto victory over West Brom.

The Danish goalkeeper feels players are being placed under undue extra pressure at Turf Moor by anxious home supporters.

And Jensen feels they could tip tight games in the Clarets favour by raising the roof for 90 minutes.

Jensen said: "When we play away there is no pressure on us, but as soon as we're back home there is pressure on us straightaway.

"People know we are a good side even though we are down there in the table. They know what we can do, so supporters have a right to have a go at us.

"Fair point because they pay their money, but sometimes I feel they are a little bit too sceptical.

"They can make all the difference because sometimes you have the referee against you as well and the supporters can have a big influence on that.

"Everybody needs help in this club because we need some results and we are the ones that have to make sure we stay in the First Division.

"There's only 11 walk out onto the pitch every game, and if we have a twelfth man it could make a big difference."

Jensen admits he is "flying" at the moment following successive clean sheets. That is all a far cry from a traumatic start to his Burnley career in August, summed up by former club West Brom inflicting a 4-1 defeat on Stan Ternent's men in only the keeper's second league game.

Ex-Albion stopper Jensen added: "Hopefully we can do a little bit better this time, and things are a little bit different now.

"I'm flying at the moment and you can only give the credit to the whole team. If you have a good defence in front of you it is always a littler bit easier because I know exactly what they're going to do and they know exactly what I'm going to do.

"So if we carry that on hopefully we can keep another clean sheet, and then at least we have a point."

Jensen, 28, added: "Things have been a little bit up and down, but even though we are near the bottom of the table I think everyone realises that we don't deserve to be down there.

"We've played pretty attractive football, we are a good side, the team is coming on and so am I."

Clarets chief Stan Ternent is sweating on the fitness of midfield terrier Paul Weller for tomorrow's Turf Moor clash, while Arthur Gnohere is still missing through a hamstring strain.

Albion have their own injury doubts, with Welsh midfielder Jason Koumas fighting to shake off a knee injury and striker Scott Dobie definitely out with knee ligament damage.

The Burnley board met yesterday to discuss the present financial situation. More measures are expected to be announced next week to try to cover February's estimated £750,000 shortfall.
