    Just the 16 goals conceded in a 46 game season. I think this is a record that will stand for a long time. And just for the record the breakdown was as follows.Three teams scored against us twice: Millwall, Norwich, Watford. 10 scored once: Blackburn, Cardiff, Coventry, Hull, Luton, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Sheffield United, Sunderland, WBA and another 10 failed to register at all: Bristol City, Derby, Leeds, Oxford, Plymouth, Preston, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke and Swansea.

    As far as I can see the Clarets only dropped 2 points all season from winning positions. That was on 31 August when they drew 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers when they surrendered a 1-0 lead. In all the other 1-1 draws Burnley hit back after being a goal down.Quite remarkable.

    The one that really stands is the failure of Leeds to score against us. They were scoring goals for fun.
