Clarets midfielder Lenny Johnrose has his sights set on a win against Derby at Turf Moor tomorrow - the mathematics of it all can be forgotten.

The deadline day signing says he will not allow the machinations of the first division table to trouble him as three points is all that can be earned from the crucial clash of the strugglers.

"I don't even know where we are in the table," revealed the 34-year-old deadline day signing.

"I honestly take the attitude 'What difference does it make?'

"All we can do is go out and win as many games as we can between now and the end of the season and the only table that matters is the one that is printed at the end.

"So I genuinely don't know where we are - I just know that we are too low down."

The Clarets go into the game off the back of a 2-0 home success against Wimbledon on Tuesday night, but Derby will also be buoyant after a 5-1 destruction of Preston North End at Pride Park last weekend.

Johnrose feels that is merely indicative of how hard both sides are fighting to get away from the drop zone.

"Obviously we needed the win on Tuesday night to take us into tomorrow's game and again that will be another massive match for us," added Johnrose.

"But it is the same for them. Derby need the points too, but I am sure if we play as we can then we can get the win we want.

"It is all in our hands. Certainly it will be all hands to the pumps again, but if everyone gives 100 per cent then we can get those three points.

"We can't look at what Derby did against Preston, that is neither here or there now. The simple fact is two sides who are desperate for the points are facing each other and we have to do all we can to make sure we win."

Johnrose, who returned to Turf Moor via spells with third division outfits Bury and Swansea after his release by Burnley in 2002, produced an industrious and influential performance in the win over Wimbledon.

It was a display that had Clarets boss Stan Ternent purring with satisfaction and sporting an 'I told you so' demeanour.

"It didn't surprise me the way Lenny went about his job against Wimbledon," smiled Ternent.

"He has been rolling back the years and I felt that he was fantastic for us in the middle of the field.

"But we have always known full well just what Lenny can do and he is very capable of producing some very good performances for us."

And Ternent would happily accept that same outcome against the Rams as achieved in midweek against The Dons - and that he wasn't too fussed about the manner in which it was earned.

"It wasn't scintillating stuff on Tuesday night," he admitted.

"Certainly we have played much better this season and have lost, but everyone went about their job in the way we needed them to and we did the job we had to do.

"We got what we wanted against Wimbledon, but we still need another win, so hopefully tomorrow will bring is the three points we are looking for."
