We want home rule

And only Lancashire rivals Preston North End, of the teams in the top ten, have collected fewer points at home.

For the first half of the season goals and wins were easy to come by for the in form Clarets but with the former drying up, so have the points.

Since they last tasted victory at home, a 3-2 defeat of bottom side Stockport County in mid December, Burnley have played five times at home scoring just two goals and earning just two points.

One of those goals was Gareth Taylor's penalty against Sheffield Wednesday, the other Arthur Gnohere's late leveller against Nottingham Forest.

Ternent was furious with the latest display, Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat by Birmingham City, when he complained that the visiting keeper Ian Bennett did not have a single serious save to make.

It is all in stark contrast to the run before the goalless draw with Millwall when they were banging the goals in at a rate of more than two a game. Only Manchester City had beaten them, and that in a game where they had just ten men for most of the match.

Ternent admitted that the current run is "unbelievable" and they have collected just 29 points at home with 31 on their travels.

That compares poorly with their promotion rivals who have all made a better job of making home advantage count.

Manchester City have an incredible 45 points at home while Saturday's opponents Norwich City have taken 40.

West Brom have 38, leaders Wolves 36, the same as Millwall and Coventry City, Birmingham's total is 35 and Crystal Palace 34.

In contrast the Clarets away record reads like the stuff of champions with only Wolves able to boast a better points haul.

Ternent admits he is puzzled by the drop in standards at home that has led to the drop in points. Norwich City, a side with a poor away record, are next up at Turf moor on Saturday afternoon.

There is no better time for Burnley to turn things around and rediscover the winning habit.
