The season ended, somewhat predictably – with honours even after a drab end-of-term affair at Turf Moor.

Until two excellent strikes in the second half, there was very little to warm up the punters on a cold afternoon.

Neither side showed much in the way of adventure in the early exchanges but by the time the half time whistle came around, it was the visitors who just about edged it without either keeper being called into action.

Thankfully for all present, the second half was better and the Clarets went close three times before an injury to David James forced City to put defender Liam Fontaine between the sticks.

Surely a landslide would follow?

Not quite.

A superb 30-yard strike from Danny Ings put the Clarets into the lead and perhaps went someway to convincing Burnley fans that the future is bright even if Jay Rodriguez is to head for the exit door as it now looks likely.

Instead of really pushing on and securing the three points, we had plenty of possession but very little else.

Ings and Charlie Austin, who wasted a couple of decent chances to reach the 20-goal mark, again looked good together up front and had it not been from some stout defending and poor final balls, the scoreline could have been so much more positive.

But, as it has been for much of the season at Turf Moor, we were lacking a certain va-va-voom and laboured for large parts of the game.

The inevitable equaliser even-tually came and it was another peach of a strike.

Substitute Ryan Taylor capitalised on a poor backpass from home debutant Danny Lafferty - who looked solid for the most part at left back - before curling a lovely shot past Brian Jensen.

The big Dane, who was handed a recall to the side on what is likely to be his last Burnley appearance, could do nothing about the goal and generally handled everything quite well.

Jensen has been a great servant over the years but I think now is the time to say thanks and goodbye.

No keeper has a chance to settle with Jensen in the wings and if Lee Grant (or whichever other keeper comes in) is to have a chance to Eddie Howe will no doubt sit down now the season is over and try and work our priorities for the new season and the main one will probably be sorting out our home form.

Whilst our performances on the road have been excellent, we have some kind of inability to repeat those levels at the Turf.

I don’t think the lack of atmosphere helps at times but also it is a case of the chicken and the egg.

If the performances were better, maybe the support would be better. Or vise versa.

It is going to be a massive summer for Howe and the board.

The fans, quite rightly, demand to see ambition and the transfer activity between now and August will tell us a lot about our ambitions for the new season.

Whatever will be will be but I for one cannot wait for another crack at promotion!
