WHILE a goalless draw was just about the perfect result for Brian Jensen’s starstruck sons, Burnley boss Brian Laws was left frustrated at the end of Saturday’s clash with Bristol City.

For the second league game running he had seen his side dominate yet fail to break through, but Laws insisted: ‘The wins will come.’ David James was one of the main reasons why Laws’ men were unable to find the net and that will have come as no surprise to Jensen’s sons Sebastian and Jamie, who idolise England’s World Cup stopper and were decked out in goalkeeper jerseys as mascots for the day.

“They wanted a photo with David James so they were mascots,” laughed their proud father afterwards.

Laws just wished James had not lived up to his shot-stopping reputation, as Burnley created a host of chances but failed to score.

As with last weekend’s 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, and indeed Tuesday’s Carling Cup win over Bolton, the Clarets were also twice denied by the woodwork.

“It’s frustrating rather than anything else,” said Laws, whose Burnley side return to Championship action tomorrow when Hull City visit Turf Moor.

"We are dominating but frustratingly not winning the games.

"It will come. I think any manager will tell you if you continue in that same vein, you’re going to win more than you lose.

"The tide will turn, I’m sure, for us on Tuesday."

The final whistle on Saturday produced a muted response from home supporters and Laws said: "You could see the silence and more the shock that we hadn’t won the game.

"We’re seeing real positivity in front of goal and I think we had something like 25 attempts at goal.

"David James had to pull off 11 saves, and the goalpost and bar were very supportive for them.

"But the disappointing thing is we know we’ve dropped two points.

"We were crying out for that little bit of luck, particularly in front of goal.

"But I certainly can’t have a go at the players for their effort and commitment.

"On another day we could have had three, four or maybe five. It just wasn’t to be.

"You’ve also got to give credit to the opposition.

"They obviously saw us in midweek and I thought they slowed the game down an awful lot."

Jensen was not quite as busy as his opposite number but did make a couple of important saves as the Clarets recorded a third consecutive clean sheet.

"I’m happy about the clean sheets," said the keeper, who saw Burnley ship 82 goals in 38 games in the Premier League last season.

"We haven’t had them for a long period of time and now they’re coming back.

"All credit to the back four. They’re playing well and they’re organised."
