BURNLEY boss Stan Ternent insists players don't need big games like today's promotion showdown with Millwall to try and raise their game.
"Just wearing the claret and blue shirt is all the incentive the players need," he said.
Meanwhile, the omens were good for a goal or two at Turf Moor today, with Millwall not having featured in a 0-0 draw for 26 games.
BURNLEY'S average crowds are still the biggest in the Second Division.
Tuesday night's gate of 17,026 pushed the average up to 12,741, just ahead of Preston with 12,376.
The 22,310 who saw the derby clash with North End at Turf Moor is also comfortably the biggest crowd in the division this season.
LENNY Johnrose has made it into the top 10 of Match magazine's March player-of-the-month awards for the Second Division.
The midfielder, set to miss today's game against Millwall because of a head injury, was therefore the Clarets' ytop-ranked player behind divisional winner Neil Redfearn of Wigan.
THE Clarets reserves are away to West Brom on Wednesday night in their penultimate Pontins League game of the season.
BRISTOL City and Reading head the Second Division form table over the last six matches -- which could be good news for Burnley.
The Clarets were looking for City to do them a favour in the Bristol derby with Rovers at lunch-time today, and then hoping Reading would win at Wigan a couple of hours later.
PETER Swan's arrival at York City has coincided with a climb up the Third Division table for the Minstermen.
However, Mark Winstnaly isn't enjoying such good fortune at Shrewsbury Town, who are now bottom of the Football League and facing possible relegation to the Nationwide Conference.
BRENTFORD are expecting their biggest crowd of the season against the Clarets on Monday and will hold a collection in aid of the families of the two Leeds United supporters killed in Turkey.
FORMER Clarets boss Chris Waddle is on a short-list of players to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
