LEVEL-HEADED Burnley boss Stan Ternent has set his Clarets a 10-win target to achieve their number one goal this season -- safety.

And only when that's achieved will Ternent contemplate anything else from a season that is threatening to outstrips expectations on the back of a second home win in the space of four days against Sheffield Wednesday last night.

"We are delighted at the moment. Our ambition from the offset was to maintain a First Division status.

"I would say that with the situation we're in now another 10 wins would allow us to do that," said Ternent.

Steve Davis's 74th-minute winner earned the Clarets their fourth win in five League games in front of their biggest home crowd of the season to keep them in seventh place.

But Ternent isn't yet ready to set his sights on anything more than establishing his side in Division One.

He added: "No chance. I'll revise them when we get to the magic 50-odd points.

"I'll take 55 points now and not play."

Burnley defied awful conditions to complete a victory that was only in doubt the longer it took them to make the breakthrough.

Troubled Wednesday never threatened to score and Davis duly secured the win the Clarets deserved with his fourth goal of the season to follow up Saturday's success over Stockport County.

"It's maximum points and we couldn't ask for any more," Ternent added. "We didn't play as well as we can play, although the second half was all right. But we've won the game and that's the bottom line.

"Results give you confidence but I've always said I've got a good squad of players. I think they are very good players technically and they have a desire and a will and a camaraderie and a togetherness and when you've got that you can move mountains."

Burnley were helped by an early tactical switch with Graham Branch taking up his more familiar left-sided role and Ternent admitted it should have been that way from the start.

"We didn't play particularly well in the first half but in fairness to Paul Cook I got the team wrong and the balance wrong," the manager confessed.

"And it was rather embarrassing for me having to take him off but I have explained the situation to him. We just needed a bit more width down there and another one up front and all's well that ends well." The 24th-minute substitution also allowed Andy Cooke to come back into the reckoning as he resumed his partnership with Andy Payton.

And Ternent underlined that Cooke, who had been left out of the 16 for the two previous games, remains a key part of his plans.

"He was very good. We have 21/22 senior players who are all capable of playing in our first-team. Glen's done his hamstring so that takes it down to 21.

"I said Andy Cooke is an integral part of my team but that isn't enough for some people. I don't know what they want me to do," he added.
