Brian Jensen today praised his protective shield as the Clarets earned their first clean sheet in 10 months!

The welcome shut-out in Saturday's Championship opener against Nottingham Forest was the first since the Turf Moor victory over Hull City back in October 2009.

And Jensen, who got the nod to start ahead of new goalkeeping rival Lee Grant, was delighted to enjoy a relatively quiet afternoon to kick off the new campaign.

He said: "A first clean sheet since October is a good start.

"We didn't play particularly well, but I felt we kept it tight at the back and that's really important for us, especially given all the goals we conceded lat year.

"The first game is always the hardest one, but the more clean sheets we get the more chance we have of achieving our aim of being in the top two."

Brian reflects on Saturday's game as part of Monday's EXCLUSIVE Player package, which features extended highlights of Saturday's game, along with the thoughts of match winner Chris Iwelumo.

The package for Clarets Player subscribers will be available here from mid-afternoon
