STRIKERS may grab the headlines but even they understand the role the goalkeepers have to play.

Clarets goal hero David Johnson modestly stated that what mattered as much as his fifth goal in six games that made it 2-0 against Gillingham last weekend was the clean-sheet.

And he went on to add: "What we need over the last two games is two more clean sheets, then it is up to us to get the goals that will put us in the play-offs."

And Burnley's aim is to deny the Mariners out next tomorrow with Greek international Nik Michopoulos looking for a second consecutive shut out.

But with relegation looming for the men from Blundell Park, Welsh international Danny Coyne will be just as keen to ensure that no one beats him in the Grimsby goal.
