Jensen insists Burnley can bounce back from Portsmouth defeat

Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen insists they can bounce back from their home defeat to Portsmouth.

Pompey became the first Premier League club to enter administration on Friday, and Jensen feels that alleviated some of their pressure.

However, it was not Portsmouth, but captain Clarke Carlisle who was Burnley's main adversary as he gave away two second-half penalties.

Jensen managed to save the first of those in the 55th minute from Jamie O'Hara, but he could do nothing about the second 20 minutes later, being sent the wrong way by Hassan Yebda.

"I was hoping my first would have given us at least a point, but sadly it didn't, and now we just have to crack on," said Jensen.

"In the end the defeat was self inflicted, but I don't want to comment on that.

"We know we're in trouble. We just have to turn it around, and away from home. It's a must, and it's what we have to now work on.

"As long as we stay together, stay strong, then we will do our very best to stay in this league.

"I'm sure we will bounce back, get even stronger, get some points away from home as well.

"The table is still tight, and yes we're still down there where we don't want to be, so we can only look up.

"We've still a good chance. We've six home games remaining, and a lot of points to play for."
