BRIAN Jensen has admitted he got himself caught in no man's land for Queens Park Rangers' equaliser on Monday.
The Beast wandered off his line to allow Gareth Ainsworth's looping header to arch over him on the stroke of half-time during the New Year Championship clash at Loftus Road.
And the Danish goalkeeper has confessed he was caught in two minds about whether to come for the long cross that led to the goal.
Chris McCann had given Burnley an early lead but they lost it when Ainsworth beat both Jensen and Jon Harley to the ball to snatch a point.
"It was definitely two points dropped because I think we battered them," said Jensen.
"It was unfortunate with their goal, there was a little bit of a mix-up between me and Harls.
"Maybe I should have gone for it, maybe I shouldn't. I was thinking about it, that's why I dropped back because Harls was there and I thought there would be no problem.
"It was a hard blow, definitely. If I don't go, I should probably stay on the line.
"With a little bit of pace on the header I would have saved it, but because it was a looping header it did me a little bit.
"Me and Harls probably have to check that in training.
"It's probably the first one like that we've had all season, where you think it's a little bit comical. But it happens.
"All results aren't because one team plays and the other doesn't play. Most goals come from mistakes."
Jensen, however, reckons it won't affect the Clarets' confidence as they look to sustain a play-off push in the remainder of the season.
And he feels that only a greta save by his opposite number Simon Royce prevented them taking the three points at QPR "It's a great save," said Jensen. "Ade's had good contact with the ball and it's a 50-50 save for Simon.
"He guessed the right way, he just dived and it hit him. But it's just one of those saves where you think 'save of the season' and well done to him.
"We were the best team but we take it on the chin. If you look at it on paper, you would be happy with the draw but we should have won."
