WITH goals likely to be at a premium tomorrow the pressure is on the Burnley strikers but David Johnson for one is unconcerned.

The on-loan hit man has scored in each of his first four starts at Turf Moor and he is itching for the chance to make it five on the trot against Coventry.

That would be a record for the club having already tied with Paul Shaw who hit four in his first four Turf matches when on loan from Arsenal.

Johnson was unaware about the chance to make history but all that concerns him is that someone in the claret and blue finds the net.

"We all know that goals could be vital but that does not make any more pressure for me," he said. "The main thing is we have to go out, play as a team and get the result we need to get into the play-offs.

"It might be that 1-0 is enough as the other teams have to win but we will just have to wait and see.

"I have been fortunate enough to get some goals in my first few games and it is always nice to score at home in front of your own fans. They have been brilliant to me ever since I got here, absolutely exceptional, and there will be 20,000 of them tomorrow and we just want to send them home happy."

The 25-year-old has been successfully used alongside Ian Moore in attack but leadsing goalscorer Gareth Taylor joined them in a front three for the second half at Grimsby last weekend. If the need for goals becomes acute Ternent will be ready to fling on as many scorers as possible.

The thrilling climax to the current campaign is in stark contrast to the troubled season Johnson has endured at Nottingham Forest, the club that has loaned him to his former Bury boss Stan Ternent.

"The atmosphere around the club is brilliant at the moment and you can feel that the whole town is up for it."

Johnson believes the key to success may be snuffing Coventry City out of the game early on and then piling on the pressure.

"It will be a tough game but they are now in a position where they can't make the play-offs," he said. "If we can keep them quiet for 20 minutes they might start to realise they have nothing to play for and we can take advantage.

"It is not even as though they can impress a new manager, as sometimes happens when a boss is sacked because the men in charge don't want the job."

Johnson admitted to getting nervous before a big game and tomorrow's clash is massive.

"I never have any trouble sleeping but the game will be on my mind," he confessed.

"But it is good to be nervous, it gives you and edge and it can be a problem if you are too relaxed, too laid back."

The prize of a play-off place is one that Johnson is very familiar with having been in the end of season shoot-out for a place in the Premier League on three separate occasions when at Ipswich.

"It is a great experience and I would love to be involved with Burnley," he said. "I have really enjoyed my loan spell here and I hope it will stretch to another three games."

And if Burnley can become a Premier League club, Ternent would surely love to make Johnson a permanent addition to his squad.
